WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean (news - web sites), the one-time front-runner in the bid to take on President Bush (news - web sites), denied on Sunday that top aides were planning to leave his campaign after critical voting in Wisconsin on Tuesday.
"Nobody's told me that," Dean told "Fox News Sunday." "So you know news is entertainment these days, and you can believe some of it but not all of it. And I have no knowledge if that's true."
Fox reported that several unnamed top aides had informed the campaign they were going to leave Vermont after Tuesday, going home because "there's no point in continuing."
The former Vermont governor did acknowledge that his campaign did not have an airplane chartered for the day after the Wisconsin primary, which he has portrayed as a "make-or-break" state for him. A recent poll of Wisconsin Democratic voters showed Dean far behind Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) of Massachusetts.
