Heh, that figures.


On a different note, Dean losing the primary did have a silver lining. He has gone a long way towards fixing what was wrong with Democratic campaign strategy at the national level. Without his 50 state strategy, the chances that the Democrats would take over 30 seats in the House would have been slim to none.

The previous strategy of only funding candidates and local party organizations if chances were good allowed attitudes like UG's to grow unchecked, with the Republicans defining the Democrats in every local election. A vocal Democrat in every race may not always win (or may almost never win in some areas) but they can help attract more Democratic votes for statewide and national races, insert the real Democratic view into the debate, and allow Democrats to take advantage when the Republicans implode as spectacularly as they have this time around.
