Braun to drop out of race, will endorse Dean
DES MOINES — Former Illinois senator Carol Moseley Braun plans to drop out of the Democratic presidential race today and endorse Howard Dean, sources close to the Dean campaign said Wednesday.
Dean and Braun are scheduled to appear together in Carroll, Iowa, where Dean is campaigning for Monday's Iowa caucuses, which begin the nomination season. Braun will campaign for Dean three to four days a week, starting Saturday in South Carolina.
The high-profile endorsement comes as the race here is tightening and Dean, a former Vermont governor, appears to be losing some ground in tracking polls.
