Tom Vilsack drops out of race.

In the face of better recognized and funded competition, Tom Vilsack will be dropping his bid for the Democratic Party presidential nomination today. Vilsack will hold both a news conference and a teleconference today to further elaborate on his reasoning for dropping out of the race.

Vilsack was a strong critic of the war in Iraq, and has been calling for Congress to immediately cut all funding for the war.
