Friday, January 16, 2004 SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL A-5 NATION Braun's backing seen as asset for Dean she stepped forward, turning the polite applause into a hearty ovation. "When women run for office, when people of color run, we open up the possibility that women and people of color can win," Braun said, noting that she had qualified for the ballot in 21 states and Washington, D.C., more than any other woman. "So to those of you who believed in this effort, I say, take heart You can claim the nobility of moving our country forward, and of opening up possibilities for all our daughters." Braun had attracted only 400 donors through September, compared with Dean's 200,000, but she said her campaign had been bolstered by the endorsement of the National Organization for Womea the field. Two of her signature issues, universal health care and affordable college education, mesh easily with Dean's message. Joe Trippi, Dean's campaign manager, said Braun would campaign here in Iowa and in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Michigan in the next 10 days.

"She can go to a union hall, she can go to an African-American church, she can do women's events," he said. "It's the first serious day-to-day surrogate that we have out there that can really reach a kind of broad cross-section ofDemocrats." A hint of Braun's potential helpfulness came Thursday in the endorsement event, when scores of women in the crowd stood up as HigiPCB levels found in salmon THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE WUd Chinook salmon In Puget Sound are contaminated with similar levels of long-lived industrial chemicals as the farm-raised salmon spotlighted in a scientific report last week, but state health officials say they probably won't issue advice on how often the wild fish should be eaten. State officials, who have studied salmon contamination levels in Puget Sound for about a year, think the benefits of eating salmon outweigh the risks posed by PCBs, or, polychlorinated biphenyls, stored to the fish. Last week, researchers published a study in the journal Science that said farm-raised salmon contain significantly more dioxins and other potentially cancer-causing pollutants than salmon caught in the wild. But data collected on wild salmon caught in Puget Sound between 1992 and 1998 showed contamination levels similar to those reported in the study of farm-raised By MM WtLGOREN THE NEW YORK TIMES CARROLL, Iowa When Carol Moseley Braun, the former senator and ambassador, first came to Iowa in her wild-card run for the Democratic presidential nomination, only one voter braved the heavy snow to show up in Des Moines.

1 On Thursday, Braun addressed the largest crowd she had seen this year, as she folded up her tent and joined the campaign of Howard Dean. "I am here today to thank those Iowans who were prepared to stand for me in Monday's caucuses," she told several hundred people gathered in a high school gym, "and ask that you stand instead for Howard Dean." Her campaign is more than $100,000 in debt and unable to climb above the low single digits in polls here in Iowa or anywhere else. Friends said she mounted the longest of long shot bids at least partly to rehabilitate a reputation marred by campaign mistakes dur- The Associated Press With her campaign In debt and her poll standings in the single digits, Carol Moseley Braun ended her presidential run Thursday. both politicians said no promises had been made in exchange for the endorsement For now, Braun, who had to lend her own campaign money in recent weeks to keep it afloat and never had more than 10 people on the payroll, will travel on the dime of the best-financed Democrat in ing her single term in the U.S. Senate.

Stumping for one of her party's top contenders will allow her' to continue that effort. Associates of Braun said she imagined herself as secretary of education or health' and human services in a potential Dean administration, though aides to Santa Cruz Sentinel ADVERTISING INSERT INFORMATION The following Inserts are In this Issue: GottSChalkS In All Areas Santa Cruz Hardware in certain Areas Shop today 10am-9pm for storewide savings and values.
