Yahoo! News - Dean Ends Campaign, Vows to Back Nominee
BURLINGTON, Vt. - Howard Dean, bowing to the political realities of a 17-contest losing streak, ended his Democratic presidential campaign Wednesday but promised to keep his "campaign for change" alive while supporting his party's eventual nominee.

I am no longer actively pursuing the presidency," Dean told a crowd of cheering, flag-waving supporters. "We will, however, continue to build a new organization using our enormous grass-roots network to continue the effort to transform the Democratic Party and to change our country."

Dean sounded a theme of party unity, saying, "The bottom line is that we must beat George W. Bush in November, whatever it takes."

Bye Howard, thanks for playin'.

I don't think I've picked a winner yet. *sigh* When I think about that, I feel more alienated from society. But then I look at society, and think that's probably a good thing.
