WASHINGTON, April 27 (UPI) -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Sunday he'd like his party's U.S. presidential nomination race to be settled by late June.
Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Dean said that while it would be "a lot of fun" to hash out the nomination at the national convention, "the truth is we need to figure this out before the convention." However, with either Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York or Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois unable to grab a commanding lead in the delegate count, that has been a political conundrum for the party.
