For Dean's movement, an unlikely inspiration
By Nina J. Easton, Globe Staff | February 11, 2005

WASHINGTON -- "As Howard Dean's presidential campaign sputtered to closure one year ago, the candidate and a half dozen trusted aides began gathering in his Burlington, Vt., office, scribbling ideas on a white board about where to channel the fierce voter and donor energy that had already become his legacy to the Democratic Party.

Fourteen years after the Rev. Pat Robertson's failed Republican presidential bid morphed into the Christian Coalition, Dean copied the TV evangelist by launching a political action committee to field and financially support scores of like-minded candidates across the country, for offices from town clerk to Congress. The network helped convince Democratic state-party representatives to back Dean for his party's most prominent job: chairman of the Democratic National Committee."


Howard Dean was greeted with a hug and applause as he arrived to speak to the Association of Democratic Chairs yesterday.

1. You beat me to it!

This is an excellent article everyone should read it. It's also exactly the strategy that we need. This is why I think Howard Dean is the right choice for DNC Chairman. I'm really looking forward to going to my first Democracy For America meetup in March.

2. That is great you are going.

It will continue to be a powerful voice for local candidates.....getting people elected to the lowest level offices.
