It's official, Dean is done. -- Oh Howard, we hardly knew ye. I'm very curious to see how his minions spread out across the landscape -- it's nothing for Kerry to sneeze at, were Dean to throw 600,000 supporters behind the proto-nominee. Sigh, looks like I'll have to replace my "Install DEAN.exe" bumper sticker with something new...maybe this one?

UPDATE: The NYTimes weighs in on "Dean's legacy," written by my fellow Jumbo Matt Bai, who writes: "By engaging new voters and reigniting passion among his rivals, something he undisputedly achieved, Dr. Dean will leave a tyrannosaur-like footprint on the Democratic Party and the political system as a whole." Ooh, tyrannosaur...ARRRRRRRR!
