AP: Ex-Iowa Gov. Vilsack ending '08 bid

Edited on Fri Feb-23-07 12:04 PM by obnoxiousdrunk

DES MOINES, Iowa - Democrat Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor who built a centrist image, is abandoning his bid for the presidency after struggling against better-known, better-financed rivals, two officials told The Associated Press on Friday.

Vilsack was scheduled to make a formal announcement later in the day. The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity even though they were pre-empting his statement.

Vilsack, 55, left office in January and traveled to early voting states, but he attracted neither the attention nor the campaign cash of his top-tier rivals — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) and John Edwards.
