| Dean Will Stop Campaigning But Stay in Race

According to the LA Times:

Howard Dean returned home to Burlington, Vermont, early on Wednesday carrying a decision to quit his presidential campaign but remain in the race for the nomination, the Los Angeles Times reported in Wednesday’s editions.
“Though Dean is not going to formally drop out of the race, he is going to stop campaigning,” a Dean aide told the newspaper.

“The move would allow his supporters to continue to vote for him in the upcoming primaries and have a say at the Democratic National Convention in July,” The Times reported.

Thanks to Howard Dean, we should all have learned an important lesson: money doesn’t win elections.

I think there’s more to it than that.

Dean was ahead on all fronts right up until he misrepresented his trip to pray with Jimmy Carter.

Americans in general, and the left in particular, will forgive a great many sins, but religion related hypocracy isn’t one of them.
