Vilsack's campaign bites the big one

[Democrat Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor who built a centrist image, abandoned his bid for the presidency after struggling against better-known, better-financed rivals.

"It is money and only money that is the reason we are leaving today," Vilsack told reporters at a news conference, later adding, "We have a debt we're going to have to work our way through."]

With no name recognition and no money, he quits before the real campaign even starts.

I heard this guy speak once on TV. He has nothing going for him. Hard to believe Iowa elected him governor. He would be better than Jimmy Carter, but that's about it.
Good decision to quit.
