First, Carolyn Maloney still has not done a Q&A on DailyKos.

But the big news is that Howard Dean, impeccable progressive, no one's conservadem or blue dog or DINO, will be endorsing Kirsten Gillibrand for the NY Senate election in 2010

Ben Smith at Politico has the hot news. According to Smith, "Dean will endorse her today . . . tying his backing to her suport for a public health insurance option."

It gets harder and harder for Carolyn Maloney or her supporters to justify a primary challenge that will be costly, will be acrimonious and give the tabloid media a field day in portraying the contest as a political cat fight, and will not take place until after Labor Day, less than two months before the general election, leaving the party precious little time to heal wounds.
