OHIO 2ND -  Former County Commissioner Republican Phil Heimlich cut his run against Ohio 2nd District Representative Jean Schmidt on Wednesday, citing the insurmountable challenge of also opposing some guy named Nathan Bailey.

Heimlich was mostly deterred by Bailey's experience in a leadership role at Wendy's, and as a manager at UDF, plus his membership in the "International High IQ Society".   Bailey had already put his fast food experience to work for him,  asking "where's the beef" in Heimlich's platform,  while adding that "quality is my recipe".

 "I mean, seriously, who has a better chance of beating Schmidt," said Heimlich, "Me or a UDF manager with a high IQ?"

In response to Heimlich's premature departure from the race,  Schmidt had little to say, other than mysteriously remarking, "Cowards cut their runs, Marines never do."
