Democratic Candidate, Tom Knox, Ends Campaign For Governor

WHYY news is reporting that Philadelphia business man, Tom Knox, has decided to end his candidacy for Governor. Knox was one of five candidates seeking the Democratic Party nomination.

Knox: I was going to spend ten million dollars, Dan was probably going to spend ten million dollars. We were going to beat each other up. And that's not appropriate to do in a Democratic primary, and then after all that, allow a Republican to become the next governor.

Allegheny County Executive, Dan Onorato, has raised over eight million dollars thus far for his campaign and is now sitting in the driver's seat. With both party's elites clearly pushing out the competition, a showdown between Corbett and Onorato two of Pennsylvania's biggest heavyweights seems to be inevitable. Unless the Bonusgate scandal blows up in Corbett's face then it will be a victory for Onorato.
