a lot of women and a lot of people," Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal said, however, that Schroeder would remain an effective political voice as a member of the House.
"She's in a position to effect a lot of changes. She has a lot of power that way — power she would lose if she had to give up that job.
"But now I have no candidate," Rosenthal said.
"I said that I could not stand aside from a campaign that would decide the nation's future and my children's future."
She said she had set out this summer to "see if it was too late to mount a campaign, not a symbolic campaign, but a winning campaign for the presidency of the United States.
Schroeder spent nearly four months testing the political and financial support she could garner for a presidential campaign after a fellow Coloradan, former U.S. Sen. Gary Hart, dropped out of the race.
Schroeder said she was proud to be characterized as "the candidate that people would be most likely to buy a used car from."
"There are only two things that matter: that you believe my word and that we trust each other," she told supporters.
The Denver Post said Sunday that she had raised only half of the $2 million she once said she needed to run a credible campaign.
Her decision leaves five announced candidates and one unannounced contender in the Democratic field. Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri, Senators Paul Simon of Illinois and Albert Gore of Tennessee, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis and former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt have declared their candidacies, and civil rights activist the Rev. Jesse Jackson is expected to formally enter the race next month.

Jet slips off runway at KCI

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Continental Airlines jet with 54 people aboard partially slipped off a runway yesterday at Kansas City International Airport, but no injuries were reported.
The 727-200 was taxing to a terminal about 1 p.m., when the nose gear slipped off the wet asphalt onto the ground. When Gary Everett, who turned, said Gary Everett, the airport
Aboard the jet were 47 passengers and seven crew members, according to Ron Fohmeister, the general manager of Continental Airlines at the airport.

The plane's main landing gear came to the edge of the asphalt, he said. Some of the asphalt buckled under the weight of the aircraft.
sometimes judges and attorneys laughed together.
Some of yesterday's appeals were routine, but others had enough drama to rival any Perry Mason episode. One appellant swelled a reversal on his conviction for heroin possession with intent to distribute.
The appellant's attorney claimed that the original lawyer in the case had collaborated with the man who threatened the appellant and his family and coerced him to run drugs money across the Mexican border.
After sitting through several of the morning's cases, Sharon Chalker, Herington second year law student, said she was surprised at the informal nature of the court. She said she was amazed at how well-prepared she was with each case and how quickly they were able to spot faulty arguments.
Three three-judge panels will continue to hear cases at 9:30 a.m. today and tomorrow in the Frank L. Snell Courtroom in Green Hall. Two of the panels will meet in Kansas City, Kan. At 2:30 p.m. toarrange, all nine members of the court will sit together to hear one case.
In each of the six cases the judges heard yesterday, attorneys from each had 15 minutes to argue that a court-rourt ruling should be overturned.
