Brownback Pulls Out of GOP Race

The rabidly anti-gay candidate Sam Brownback has pulled out of the GOP race for presidential nominee. The Senator from Kansas is expected to run for governor of Kansas in 2010 after his term in the senate is up. His main problem in this campaign has been raising money. His far right-wing views have not played well with the contributors and his support for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants hurt him in Iowa.

Personally I breathe a sigh of relief. Brownback added just one more shrill voice to the GOP rant. Without him it, it will be more civil but still a losing cause I my opinion.
