It's official (according to CQ and Politico), Jim Ogonowski, in his bid for the US Senate, will not mount a legal challenge after failing to surpass the threshold of 10,000 certified signatures. Although the blame does (and should) fall on Ogonowski's organisation (or lack thereof), so far none of the credit is going to Jeff Beatty for his popularity amongst grassroots Republicans.
Of course, it's a great story for the large news outlets to pick up: the Republican party's 'best hope' to challenge Kerry can't even get on the ballot. Ironically, the story that they should be writing is that the GOP's 'best hope' is on the ticket -- his name is Jeff Beatty.
