Earlier in the day, Dean, the Democratic front-runner in Iowa, picked up the endorsement of Dick Myers, a state representative from Iowa City.

Myers, the former Democratic minority leader who retired this summer, said he is backing Dean because Dean has a fresh approach to issues, extraordinary ability and the campaign organization needed to win the presidency

“He’s decided to take on President Bush in a very issue-oriented way,” Myers said of the former Vermont governor at a rally earlier in the day in Des Moines
