Brownback to drop out?

[Moloch]

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas), who has struggled to compete financially for the Republican presidential nomination, will announce tomorrow that he is dropping out of the 2008 contest, the Associated Press reported this morning.

Aides to the senator did not return calls this morning. The AP report cited two sources close to the senator, who said problems raising money prompted the upcoming announcement.

Brownback reported having only $95,000 in cash after the quarter that ended on Sept. 30. In total, Brownback has only raised $805,000, far short of the tens of millions that the leading candidates have raised.

A conservative who talked frequently about his faith, Brownback campaigned aggressively this summer in Iowa, but placed third behind former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.

1. Now if he'd just tune in and turn on

I might (although not likely) find something nice to say about him. Don't hold your breath though, he's still one of the biggest asshole airheads ever elected to Congress.

2. Brownback Packs It In (Princess Sparkle Pony Photo Blog):

It with not one, not two, but multitudes of large, glistening tears rolling down my face and splattering my Prada bowling shoes that I must report that, alas, Sam Brownback is no longer running for president.

*sniff*

It will take a while, and none of us will ever fully recover, but together we can work through this!

Huckabee 4EVER!!!!!
