Will Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL) be the first casualty of a crowded Democratic presidential field?

The former Florida governor turned U.S. Senator reportedly informed a colleague that he will soon close the book on his bid to become president.

If this plays out, Graham will only be the first to call it a day before the Iowa Caucus in January. Now that Gen. Wesley Clark, Sen. John Kerry, Rep. Richard Gephardt and former Vermont governor Howard Dean have more or less established themselves as the frontrunners, the money is going to start drying up for those at the bottom.
