Well, early results show a dogfight between Kerry and Edwards for the Wisconsin primary. It would appear that the only person on the planet who doesn't know that Dean is history is Dean himself.
It's a pity because he did run a compelling grass roots campaign and it had that Internet "buzz" early on. Isn't it amazing how the national media can destroy a candidate as easily as they can elevate him? All they needed was a little help from the candidate himself.
I get the feeling we might see a joint Kerry/Edwards ticket. It would make sense in that Edwards is quite charismatic and a nominal southerner.

As far as Dean is concerend, he does deserve a big pat on the back for reenergizing the Democrats and the youth. He may not win this campaign, but he did a lot for the cause. I hope others remember him that way, and hopefully he'll do more in the future.
