were released to the public, the guy withdrew and Obama won handily. Then, in the general election, by some astonishing coincidence, the press decided to do the very same thing to his Republican rival, one Jack Ryan. I wrote about that a couple of times as it happened, without ever mentioning (or even noticing) that Ryan's opponent was an up-and-coming Barack Obama. Ryan withdrew from the race, leaving Illinois Republicans to import Alan Keyes to run against him -- no real challenge there.
