(2004-01-15) — Former Senator and Ambassador Carol Moseley-Braun will abandon her White House bid so she can help Howard Dean find qualified African-Americans for his presidential cabinet, according to an unnamed party official.

Mr. Dean could not immediately be reached for comment, since he was giving a lecture to educate a group of white people about race.
