Dean skipped a precious 24 hours on the ground in Iowa to attend Carters church in Georgia, where the 39th president offered kind words but no endorsement.
The two men joined worshippers at the 131-member Marantha Baptist Church, where Carter teaches Sunday school most weeks, and afterward the former president introduced Dean as my friend, our visitor and a fellow Christian.
Carter thanked Dean for opposing the war, which the Georgian called unnecessary and unjust, and expressed his appreciation for the work Dean did on Carters losing bid for re-election in 1980, although Dean said it only amounted to licking envelopes and answering telephones.
I made an announcement in advance that Im not going to endorse any particular candidate, but I have been particularly grateful at the courageous and outspoken posture and position that Governor Dean has taken from the very beginning, Carter said during their eight-minute appearance together after the Sunday services.

I think the disrespect shown to Dean has been one of my biggest disappointments...
