Brownback to Drop out of the Race Tomorrow

Sam Brownback is going to drop out of the race for the Republican nomination for President tomorrow.

From the Politico...

Republican Sam Brownback will drop out of the 2008 presidential campaign on Friday, people close to the Kansas senator said Thursday.

Trouble raising 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, a lesser-known conservative contender, is expected announce his withdrawal in Topeka, Kan.

The senator is widely expected to seek the Kansas governor's office in 2010, when his term - his second - expires. He had promised in his first Senate campaign to serve no more than two terms.

Good news for Huckabee, I assume.

Is Sebelius term-limited as governor of Kansas?

Not sure if she is term-limited, but I have heard she might be running for Brownback's Senate seat.
