Howard Dean stands alone for the nomination for the Democrat National
Committee chairmanship. Tim Roemer, a former congressman from Indiana and
a member of the Sept. 11 Commission, withdrew from the race and leaves
Dean alone as the only announced candidate seeking the chairmanship.
Only if someone from outside were to enter the race can Dean be
stopped from being the leading spokesman for the Democrats.
Roemer warned his party as he bowed out.
"I got into this race five weeks ago to talk about the devastating
loss we experienced in November," Roemer said. "It was not about
60,000 votes in Ohio. It was about losing 97 of the 100 fastest
growing counties in the country. If that's a trend in business or
politics you're in trouble."
