Wow. One debate and the man pulls his hat out of the ring. Although I like Kevin's argument - the Third Rail took him out - I think this is the real answer:
One adviser said Vilsack was on a path to raise just $1.3 million during the first quarter of the year. In contrast, Obama raised that much at one Hollywood fundraiser on Tuesday night and Clinton similarly can raise that much at a single event.
It will be interesting to see how quickly other candidates come to this same conclusion. Some, like Kucinich, never will; but among the others who actually believe they are electable, the Vilsack approach will most likely be inevitable.
There's Obama, Clinton, Edwards, and everyone else. Some might wish it otherwise, I suppose, but wishing won't make it so. Not this time, at least.
