MILWAUKEE (AP) – His top advisers says it’s time to go. A defiant Howard Dean says he’s staying, despite a zero-for-16 record in Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses. Unresolved for the one-time front-runner is how he proceeds from here.
Advisers to Dean are urging him to abandon the race if he loses Wisconsin and consider several options, including dropping from the race outright, suspending his campaign or at least acknowledging Kerry’s accomplishment and redirect his own efforts.
