KERREY WITHDRAWS FROM CAMPAIGN

Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, the presidential candidate who seemed to have it all heading into the campaign, wistfully bowed out of the race Thursday, telling supporters he had been too late in clinching a connection with voters.

With a good-natured ease, warmth and humor that often eluded him on the campaign trail, he told a roomful of cheering, sometimes teary-eyed supporters and Senate colleagues, "after Tuesday I feel a little like the Jamaican bobsled team. We had a lot of spirit but unfortunately we didn't get a lot of medals."

Kerrey, a 48-year-old Medal of Honor winner, whose platform was built around a plan for national health insurance, said that his campaign had run out of money, if not enthusiasm.
