Yahoo! News - Dean Now Says He Will Stay in Race After Wisconsin
GREEN BAY, Wis. (Reuters) - Democrat Howard Dean on Monday reversed his position of a week ago and said that even if he lost Wisconsin's primary next week he would stay in the race for his party's 2004 presidential nomination. The former Vermont governor later told reporters that backers, particularly small donors, convinced him to stay in the race.

"They don't want to quit, so I'm not going to quit on them," the former Vermont governor said.

"Democrats who watched the popularity polls and cut bad deals with the White House are not the right people to stand up to George Bush this fall," the former Vermont governor said.

Although I don't think he will be considered a serious contender anymore, it will be good to have his voice in the campaign, provided he doesn't divide the party. He represents a lot of people who are fed up with Washington's "business as usual".
