2008 Presidential Candidate and Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack today formally withdrew his candidacy for president in 2008, becuase of poor showings in polls compared to frontrunners Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. Vilsack polled 3rd and 4th in even his homestate of Iowa 10-15 points behind Edwards. Vilsack was hoping an early win in Iowa would surge him to victory in other key victories, but if he lost Iowa it would instantly kill his campaign. If his homestate wouldn't support him who would? His withdrawal from the race could help increase John Edwards's lead in Iowa.
