Cullen drops out of guv race
State Sen. Tim Cullen announced this afternoon that he is dropping out of the guv's race.
He said he cannot raise the $1 million to $2 million he believes is needed to deliver his message against other candidates with more resources and better name recognition.
Cullen's latest campaign finance report showed he had just $26,299 in the bank at the end of 2011 after raising just $157 over the six-month period.
Cullen has said in recent weeks that he would run on a mesage of rising above the partisanship that has gripped the Capitol over the past year. But he said today a bipartisan message would be "impossible" in "the most angry, partisan race in Wisconsin history."
