Martin Frost has dropped out of the race for DNC Chair according to the Associated Press.
Frost's decision came hours after AFL-CIO leaders decided not to make an endorsement in the race for Democratic National Committee chairman.Looks like it's down to Dean, Roemer, Rosenberg and Fowler. Frost's comments sure sound good for Dean.
Frost had counted heavily on organized labor to give him a boost against Dean. Many in the AFL-CIO were prepared to back Frost at one point, but he had not shown enough movement in the race to win labor support, union officials said.
The former congressman said Tuesday he had called Dean, the former presidential candidate, and ``congratulated him for running a strong campaign. The challenge ahead for Governor Dean will be to unite the party, rebuild the DNC and win elections in every region of the country.''
