2-9-2004 Dean Will Battle Kerry For Nomination
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Democrat Howard Dean said on Monday even if he loses Wisconsin's Feb. 17 primary he will remain in the race for his party's 2004 presidential nomination.
Asked if he would drop out if he lost Wisconsin as he had said he would just last week, Dean said, "No." Asked if he was in it for the long haul, he said, "Yup."
He later told a reporter that people who had urged him to stay in the race had convinced him to fight on.
With $1.1 million in contributions raised in recent days, Dean planned to begin airing on Monday a biographical ad in Wisconsin that basically helps reintroduce him to voters.
The spot describes Dean as a former family doctor and Vermont governor who has taken on special interests on behalf of average Americans, and is now ready to take on Bush.

Vote on your Ad for America
Beginning Tuesday, we're going on the air in Wisconsin with an ad independently created, directed, and produced by grassroots supporters.
No campaign has ever tried this. But your campaign -- with its unprecedented pool of talented and committed supporters -- can pull it off.
So which ad will it be?
The entire race has come down to this: we must win Wisconsin.
We will get a boost this weekend in Washington, Michigan and Maine, but our true test will be the Wisconsin primary. A win there will carry us to the big states of March 2-and narrow the field to two candidates. Anything less will put us out of this race.
All that you have worked for these past months is on the line on a single day, in a single state. We have come so far to change our political process and restore our democracy-we can't stop now.
Thank you,
Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
