It looks like 46% of you got it right. It is being reported that Sen. Sam Brownback will be dropping out of the Republican primary.
Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, the Kansas conservative who struggled to raise money and gain recognition in the 2008 presidential campaign, will drop out on Friday, people close to him said Thursday.
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 is expected announce his withdrawal in Topeka, Kan.
It’s widely anticipated Brownback will run for Kansas governor in 2010, when his term — his second — expires. He had promised in his first Senate campaign to serve no more than two terms.
Money may have been the main reason (his campaign had less than $100,000 cash on hand), but it is far from being the only reason.
Besides money, Brownback was hurt because he supports a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, an issue that angers conservatives who influence voting in Iowa and other states that are struggling to provide education, medical care and other services to an influx of immigrants in recent years.
So, vote in the new poll. Who will be the next to drop out?
The poll is in the right sidebar.

It’s a real tough choice between Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo. Hunter had less cash flowing in and less cash on hand, but Tancredo is already technically in the red once you add in his debts.

And money is a huge part of the story for any campaign.

Very true. I guess the long-term question is how many Pubbies drop before the first ‘Rat.
