[+/-] There can be only one

Tim Roemer, the only remaining opponent of Howard Dean in the race to be chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said today he's bowing out of the race. Dean, the former presidential candidate and governor of Vermont, is expected to win the DNC chairmanship at the election Feb. 12. He has said he will focus his efforts as chairman more on building the party at the local, state and national level, raising money and winning elections - while elected officials will be more responsible for policy positions.
