November 5, 2003 Dean Considers Plan to Forgo Public Financing By JODI WILGOREN URLINGTON, Vt., Nov. 4 — Howard Dean is planning to poll his supporters in an unusual online survey this week about whether he should become the first Democratic presidential candidate ever to abandon the 30-year-old public-financing system in the primaries. Dr. Dean has been weighing for months whether to forgo federal matching funds and be free of the spending limits that come with them. The poll of supporters could blunt criticism of such a move. Last March, before he showed his fund-raising prowess, Dr. Dean, the former governor of Vermont, had pledged to stay in the system, saying, "Campaign finance reform is just something I believe in." Dr. Dean planned to announce that he was surveying supporters in an e-mail message sent at midnight Tuesday to nearly 500,000 people who have registered on his Web site and in a speech on Wednesday in Manhattan.
