WASHINGTON — Howard Dean once dismissed John Kerry as "a Washington insider who shifts back and forth with every poll." But the pair met Wednesday to discuss how Dean could help Kerry win the White House this fall.
"The future of our country depends" on ousting President Bush, Dean said in a statement after what he called a "very good meeting" with Kerry.
On March 18, Dean plans to announce a grass-roots organization based on the 700,000 supporters he amassed via the Internet during his presidential campaign. The former Vermont governor is expected to use his network to raise money for Kerry and other Democratic candidates.
Most of the other major presidential candidates endorsed Kerry shortly after dropping out. Dean is expected at some point to make his support official, possibly later this month. The Democrats are scheduled to hold a "Unity Dinner" on March 25 with former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and candidates who ran for the nomination this year.

Re: Dean backs Kerry
03/11Has anyone heard any rumors about Dean's new org? I've let myself fall out of step with it all recently and am very curious about the plans. I'm too impatient to WAIT for next week...I need details!
