Former front runner Howard Dean has dropped out of the race to be the Democrats' candidate for the White House. Mr. Dean, who finished third in Tuesday's Wisconsin primary, announced his decision at a news conference today. In keeping with his use of the internet, Mr. Dean's web site carried news of his withdrawal before he appeared in public to announce it.

He did not endorse any of his rivals, but said he would support the party's nominee.

Sic transit gloria.
