Brownback Out Of Presidential Race
WASHINGTON— Republican Sam Brownback will drop out of the 2008 presidential campaign on Friday, people close to the Kansas senator said Thursday.
Trouble raising money was a main reason for his decision, said one person close to Brownback, who requested anonymity because the candidate had not yet announced his plans.
Brownback, a lesser-known conservative contender, is expected announce his withdrawal in Topeka, Kan.
The senator is widely expected to seek the Kansas governor’s office in 2010, when his term — his second — expires. He had promised in his first Senate campaign to serve no more than two terms.

Can’t say I am surprised to hear this. Sadly, I believe Duncan Hunter (my current favorite) will be next.

October 18th, 2007 at 10:17 amYeah this political environment these days is just crazy..running for president 1 year and a half before it even starts to count. Sorry to hear Brownback dropped out, would liked to have heard more from him. I think i would vote for any of the Republican candidates right now other than moonbat Ron Paul.
