follow his and Gates's lead and vote for Dean as well!

4. I am so excited!!

Webb, a former three-term Denver mayor, pulled out of contention immediately after an influential group of state Democratic Party chairpeople overwhelming supported Dean, a 2004 presidential candidate who promises to rally the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party."

Also today, Colorado Democratic Chairman Chris Gates backed Dean after stumping for Webb for more than a month.

"Howard Dean has been a thoughtful advocate for progressive change, both as governor of Vermont and as a candidate for president. And I think he'll make a great national party chair," Gates said.

Both Gates and Webb supported Dean's early run for president.

I had been holding off writing to Gates (I live in Colorado) and a couple of others, because they are very loyal to Webb.

This changes everything! Colorado DNC is going to go for Dean, I'll bet! More letters to go out!

I'm so proud of Webb!

YEEEAARRGGHHHH !
