It is almost time for drop-out watch in the presidential race and yesterday Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas got things started by setting forth what it would take for him to quit the GOP nomination campaign – if he does not place in the top four in Iowa.
That’s a very real possibility considering that a Des Moines Register poll last month showed him in seventh place. Setting conditions for your departure is not good for a presidential candidacy, unless Brownback thinks Iowans will rally to his side if he threatens to quit.
Who else looks like a goner? Other members of Congress who are doing poorly in the race might decide they have better things to do. Best bet for the first dropout on the Democratic side might be Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut. His fundraising is so paltry that this week his campaign raffled off two Boston Red Sox tickets to donors who apparently need such enticements to back him.![[RSS]](http://67.192.49.194/templates/images/rss_icon.gif){kind=icon}
