Governor Dean posted on the DNC blog a few minutes ago about Paul Hackett's decision to leave the Senate race in Ohio. Here's an excerpt:

As you know, Iraq veteran Paul Hackett left the race for U.S. Senate in Ohio today. In his campaigns, Paul had the courage to stand up and speak out for what he believes in. That is how Democrats will win elections and take this country back for the people who built it. ...

Full post from Dean over at the DNC blog.

It's worth mentioning here that Governor Dean and the DNC were on the ground and online during Hackett's race in OH-2, and the work on that race forged new relationships among the volunteers on the ground and folks from across the country who came to help.

It was in the weeks of campaigning online and ultimately on the ground in Ohio during OH-2 that Tim Tagaris and I started talking about a new kind of model for cooperation between local grassroots activists on the ground, everyone online, and the national party.

We're building and refining that model every day at the DNC, with a lot of help from people on this site, and it's one of the things we can thank Paul Hackett for today.
