Democrats can’t lose for winning. An Iowa candidate came out on top in his race for state legislature Tuesday despite dropping out of the contest in September to address unspecified “personal health issues. ” Eric Armstrong, a retired railroad executive, was projected to defeat Republican Keith Jones by about nine percentage points in the Hawkeye State’s 20th House District, according to the Associated Press.
