DEATH OF 50-STATE STRATEGY?
This note from the Progressive Populist:[Since] Howard Dean is expected to be replaced as Democratic national chairman, [this clears] the way for President-elect Barack Obama to name the new party chairman. Also out the door, apparently, is the 50-State Strategy, as the 200 organizers who had been deployed nationwide to organize state parties are being laid off at the end of November. The new DNC chair will decide whether to continue the 50-state policy, but Chris Bowers of OpenLeft.com noted that firing the organizers “effectively kills the program, no matter the messaging and commitment of the remaining staffers.”
Well, it figures. It's no different from when Gov. Dean set up a health care system for the people of Vermont only to have it largely dismantled by the governor who followed.
It's like, as soon as Dean leaves a place, a black hole closes around where he used to be and the whole thing implodes, sucked back into nothingness.
I wonder how all the new registered Democrats will feel going back to being ignored.
