From his exit speech and quoted here:, with the added comment:

THE SECRET OF DEAN'S DEMISE REVEALED!: By the man himself, no less. Yesterday Howard Dean started his farewell-to-the-presidency/it's-a-new-beginning speech by saying:

"And I said when I left the governor's office that if the rest of this country were like Vermont this country would be much better off.

And what we set out to do was make the rest of the country more like Vermont."

Note to Howie: Vermont is 97% white with a socialist Congressman. That's not America, it's Sweden. No thanks.

You're lucky Democrats stopped you when they did. They saved you the even greater embarrassment of being thoroughly rejected by the rest of the country in November.

It'll be interesting to see how the Deaniacs behave this November. If those quotes you provided are representative of the Deaniacs at large, some will sit out, some will go Green, and some will vote for Bush, perhaps more than will vote for the Democrat nominee. Of course, a lot can happen as between now and election day as passions cool.
