Donnie Fowler, Howard Dean's last serious opponent in the race for DNC Chair, has dropped out and endorsed Dean:

With Howard Dean as its next chair of the DNC, the Party will have someone who not only understands change, but knows how to make it happen. As a presidential candidate and as a candidate for Chair, Dean has brought with him a grassroots movement that will reinvigorate the Democrats with new activism and new voters. As a former governor and former Chair of the Democratic Governors Association, Governor Dean also knows the value of respecting and including those who are most loyal to the Party. It's the best of the new and the traditional. And the Democratic Party will be better for it. This is why I endorse Governor Dean for DNC Chair and hope to contribute to his and the new DNC's successes

Good news for progressives, for Democrats, and for Americans.
