Kan.: Is it true that you will drop out of the race if you don't finish
in the top 4 in Iowa?

Sen. Sam Brownback: That is correct. I need to finish in that group to move on forward.[/q]

WASHINGTON - Republican Sam Brownback said Wednesday he will drop out of the race for president if he finishes lower than fourth place in the Iowa caucuses.

The Kansas senator had previously said he would consider ending his campaign for the GOP nomination if he could not finish in the top four.

Brownback made the comments while fielding questions in a live Internet discussion on washingtonpost.com.

Actually he will drop out tomorrow, per today's reports. And he is not teh first one as you allude to in your opening line. Tommy Thompson dropped out after teh Iowa Straw poll. Jim Gilmore dropped out before Thompson. Brownback would be teh third to drop out.
