Dr. Dean continues to serve the party

Dean Urges Supporters Not to Leave the Party
By ROBERT F. WORTH

NEW HAVEN, Feb. 26 — In his first public appearance since dropping out of the presidential race last week, Howard Dean thanked his supporters here on Thursday night and urged them to stay with the Democratic Party and "not to be tempted by independent or third-party candidates."

Dr. Dean spoke in a packed hotel ballroom to an audience of whooping, clapping supporters who often acted as though their candidate were still in the race.

He did not mention Ralph Nader, who entered the presidential race a few days ago, but a number of those in the audience said they considered his remark about third-party candidates to be a clear reference to Mr. Nader.

Dr. Dean also did not say anything about endorsing another Democrat for president, but he did say, in a characteristic aside, "My staff is absolutely terrified about what I might announce tonight."

Instead, he urged his supporters to back the eventual Democratic nominee, and described his plans to continue influencing the race from the outside.

"Those of you who wish to support another candidate, I encourage that," he said, adding that he would also be happy to have his supporters vote for him in the Connecticut primary on Tuesday. "But remember," he added, "we must all stand together in the end."

I'm not really sure why this is so newsworthy?

Because a lot of Kerry supporters have accused Dean or his supporters of being embittered and threatening to desert the party. A thoroughly unsubstantiated, absurd allegation, but an explicit quotation is a nice thing to link to as a rebuttal.
