Dean Says He's Out; Sanders Looks Like He's In

As a follow up to my last post, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has issued a statement indicating he is not running for the open Vermont Senate seat in 2006.

Meanwhile, Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) just issued a press release which he seems to indicate he is running. He says, "I have been clear about my intentions, which have not changed, but today is not the time to talk about politics or elections." I'm sure we are going to hear more in the next few days.
