LA Times: Dean to End Campaign, Stay in Race

[rodbarnett]

BURLINGTON, Vt. (Reuters) - 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 former Vermont governor suffered an apparent knockout on Tuesday in the Wisconsin primary -- his 17th defeat without a victory in the Democratic nominating process. Still, he came out swinging, telling backers at a rally in Madison, "We are not done yet."

While Dean's presidential campaign may soon end, he said the movement he began with his Internet-based organization and anti-war, anti-Washington message would push on.

1. Double-you tee eff - Question mark

He's not going to run, but he's not out of the race. I thought his main strength was being a clear-headed straight shooter. How odd.

2. Dean had no choice thanks to the Grossman backstabbing.

Grossman knifed Dean in the back the day before the Wisconsin primary. Dean had to say his campaign was going on after Wisc. Monday because of what Grossman said. Dean can't turn around and quit after he said he was going on two days before hand.
