Brownback to Withdraw From GOP Race

Associated Press via NYT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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 to 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.
