AD 15 minus one

There's one less candidate in the most crowded Assembly race of 2008. That would be the seat to replace termed-out Assemblyman Guy Houston, where no less than 13 candidates have filed preliminary paperwork with the secretary of state to seek the seat.

It's the only Republican-held partisan office in the Bay Area and a top target for Democrats next year.

The Contra Costa Times reports Joe Rubay, a Republican and political novice, is withdrawing from the race. That leaves four GOP candidates: Abram Wilson, Robert Rao, Scott Kamena and Judy Lloyd.
