Vilsack Drops Out

by Patrick Ruffini :: February 23rd, 2007 11:25 am

Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor, has dropped out of the race after three months.

It’s easy to ascribe this to the oxygen being sucked up by HillaryObamaEdwards. The incredibly early start to the campaign is a double-edged sword for the back of the pack. Their ability to raise fast money online if they catch on late in the season is a potentially game-changing opportunity. At the same time, conventional wisdom about who’s up and down is congealing earlier, creating potential cash-flow problems for a candidate like Vilsack, who had already hired 50 staffers in Iowa.
