Howard Dean — In the race? Out? Put us out of our misery!

After his whuppin’ in Wisconsin yesterday, we’ve heard contradictory reports about whether Dean intends to continue.  Last night, I read that Dean was going to fight onward to the March 2nd primaries, but this morning I’m reading a “Democratic source” that says Dean will pull out of the race today.  I’m sorry, but it’s about time.  We’re wasting time and ink over Howard Dean, when we should be spending the next couple of months getting the entire party behind the front-runner.  Unless a miracle happens for Edwards on March 2nd, Kerry is going to be our nominee.  Everyone who isn’t happy about that simply needs to get over it and focus on how to beat Bush.  We need the party unified because the real battle is gaining the support of folks in Ohio and Arizona, which will be potential tipping points for winning this election.  Howard Dean ran a fascinating campaign, which we’ll talk about, post-mortem, and dissect for years to come, but he’s now a distraction from the real work.
