Man With No Chin Drops From Presidential Race

That's about as much as anyone outside the state of Iowa knows about Tom Vilsack, who announced today that he's dropping out of the 2008 race. Shockingly, he cited lack of widespread recognition and lack of funds as the primary reasons. A man from Iowa who thinks he has a shot in hell campaigning against Clinton, Edwards, and Obama is far too naive to be president. Depsite lack of name recognition, he would have collapsed trying to run on a weak platform, focused mainly on alternative energy (admirable but trite). And his recent criticism of the Iraq War backed up by the oh-so-brilliant plan to cut funding would appeal to a minority of voters. The majority of Americans want to end the war and bring the troops home, but very few are willing to cut funding to our soldiers.
