Brownback quits White House race

Republican Sen. Sam Brownback officially abandoned his 2008 presidential bid, his White House aspirations dashed by a lack of support and money.

Brownback is expected to run for Kansas governor in 2010 when his second term expires. He has said he won't run for the Senate again.

He announced his withdrawal at the Kansas Statehouse, standing with his wife and three of their five children.

"We're out of money," Brownback said.
