Obstacles not enough to rush Brownback’s looming decision

Limited funds and pundits’ criticisms aren’t deterring his wait-and-see approach.

Brownback
WASHINGTON | - If money talks in politics, Sen. Sam Brownback’s nascent presidential campaign is but a ghostly whisper.

And if he doesn’t increase his fundraising soon, Brownback risks being drowned out before voters even think about tuning in to 2008.

Money is only one of the obstacles emerging in the Kansas Republican’s long shot to ride his politics of conservatism and faith to the White House.

He has made no inroads in New Hampshire, site of the first presidential primary. He risks being outflanked on the right in Iowa, site of the nation’s first caucus. A spate of national media attention has not translated to higher poll numbers. He upset a big chunk of the conservative base by taking a moderate stance on the burning issue of immigration.
