I'm not sure how the Dean Campaign got derailed but it certainly did. Hwever, it's less than helpful for Democrats who supported other candidates to crow about Dean recognizing that his presidential asperations are no longer viable. Such mean-spirited posts should be reserved for Bush supporters who seek to further demoralize the Dean supporters.

As a late Dean supporter, I'll still be working hard at our state convention for his reform platform. And I'll certainly vote against Bush when the November elections roll around.
