Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean says he won't drop out of the race even if he loses today's primary in Wisconsin. But some of his Indian supporters are already looking elsewhere.

Ada Deer, former assistant secretary during the Clinton administration, once supported Dean but now says she is leaning towards Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. She attended an Edwards rally in Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday.

Dean has an Indian support committee that counts Comanche leader LaDonna Harris and former Cherokee Nation chief Wilma Mankiller as its chairs.
