Gov. Dean Declares Democracts Ready for ALL 50 States
Quick news hit on Dean and the 50 State Strategy. Proof that DFA was way ahead of the herd...
The 50-state strategy that has been the hallmark of Dean's term as Democratic Party chairman seems to have won acceptance from many party activists, judging from a sample of delegates interviewed as they arrived for the convention.
"It was brilliant," said delegate Leslie Howard of Modesto, Calif. "I think he's been great all around, but then I'm kind of a crazy liberal."
Under the 50-state strategy, the Democratic National Committee provides funding to all 50 state Democratic operations so they can hire staff with the goal of building grass-roots support in every precinct.

Good post, Sara.
Unfortunately, DINOs are still badmouthing him for it--I guess they don't mind losing, so long as they keep the levers of power within the party
- Leslie Howard is the President of the Central Valley Democratic Club located in Stanislaus County

He got in some trouble a few years ago. He was holding fundraisers with Richard Pombo. The CVDC was formed out the ashes of the Dean for America and the Clark grassroots presidential campaigns. They're rather progressive for the Modesto area. Several of their members joined DFA but never got involved with our state group. CVDC: http://www.cvdemocrats.org/news.php
