“Yeeeaaa!!”, yourself!

Despite tending toward the “He’s doing no good” slant, this New Republic article does indeed lay out the divisions of Dean’s “50 State Strategy”– long – term versus short – term. I can lay out various articles through the last two decades starting with the disasterous 1980 election which show complaints of the organization being top-down to the point where only Carter was being paid for… by 1996 they came back full-circle and the DNC was essentially back to buttressing up the top man.

For what it is worth, Charlie Cook believes Dean is doing what he needs to…

… which is, and this is essentially what I was wanting to say here…

What Dean is doing is running into areas of the country where the Democratic Party has become defunct and non-existent — Salatia, Mississippi for instance, and recruiting and laying the money and buttressing up the local Democratic Party organization so that they might be able to elect a Democratic Dog Catcher.

Good or bad, take it or leave it. It pays off when the dog catchers are able to support a Presidential bid.
