Fundraising Group Undermined Dean in Iowa

A Democratic political action group called "Americans for Jobs" is credited with hurting Howard Dean's bid to win the Iowa caucuses. Documents released this week show former Sen. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey was a big contributor to the group. He's also a key fundraiser for Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. Hear NPR's Steve Inskeep and NPR's Peter Overby.
