Howard Dean, whose Internet-fueled grass roots campaign propelled him to the front of the Democratic presidential field before John Kerry derailed his candidacy, will rally supporters in San Francisco on Thursday to help launch a new advocacy group.

The new group will promote Kerry's campaign against President Bush and help recruit other Democrats to run for elective office.

Dean formally will kick off the new organization, Democracy for America, in Seattle on Thursday morning before traveling to San Francisco later in the day. A third rally, in New York, is planned for Friday.

4. California is Dean country?

Last time I checked, Kerry won California by a landslide. But kudos to Dean and his supporters for doing their part to beat Bush.
