Reply #5: One view from the Dean blog: [View All]

"Again, this is the final idiotic decision in a string of idiotic decisions. Howard, you've been screwed by your own campaign. This was not the time to quit. Edwards is about to go broke and kerry is going to be crippled by scandal before long.

Say hello to 4 more years of Bush, folks. Kerry or Edwards will never win in Nov.

I'm sorry you lost confidence in this partnership, Governor. The grassroots certainly held up it's end of the bargain."

An interesting view, but given the difficulty in catching up in delegates (due to continued allotment to Kerry even if he fails to win) and failing to win himself, I have to say Howard was right to quit now. It seems his share of the vote was destined to be stuck at 20 to 25% no matter where he went.
