Peter Ueberroth dropping out of Calif. recall race
LOS ANGELES (CNN) — Former baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth has decided to quit the recall race for California governor, state Republican sources told CNN Tuesday.
Ueberroth, a Republican who was reaching out for the support of independents in the 135-candidate contest but was trailing in the most recent polls in fourth place with just 5 percent voter support, plans to withdraw at a 4 p.m. ET news conference, the sources said.
He does not plan to endorese any of the majorcandidates just yet, but wants to discuss with them individually their ideas on creating jobs before making his choice, the sources said.
