US Senate candidate Chris Lugo has announced that he is withdrawing his candidacy from the [D]emocratic primary race August 7th in Tennessee and will instead run as an independent candidate or seek the [G]reen [P]arty nomination at their convention May 3rd in Nashville. […] Lugo said that after running as a [D]emocrat for three months his sense was that they are not ready to end the war [in Iraq].
