DescriptionOne of Washington's most generous Democratic donors says the state party won't get any more of his money because it is playing favorites for former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

In the past four years, Vashon Island attorney Matthew Bergman, his wife and his law firm have given more than $250,000 to the state and national Democratic parties and to Democratic candidates here and around the country. About $40,000 of that went to the state party.

And that'll be it, says Bergman, a supporter of Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, "unless and until it stops supporting one good Democrat over another in party primaries."
