Brownback bows out, and an election with a bow on it

It's official. Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, saying "his yellow brick road came just short of the White House," has bowed out of the presidential race. We're updating our election special, Health Matters in the 2008 Election, as I write.

The other candidates are still running hard though, and word came today that there's a chance that the New Hampshire primary could even be held in December. The state's secretary of state, Bill Gardner, has until Nov. 2 to make his decision.

So even though it may seem early to some to be thinking about the election, you can consider our candidate comparison chart an early holiday gift.

We'll keep you posted.
