Dean on the money

I think that if the Democrats are going to be a successful national party, they must run a national campaign and build bases everywhere. This also means being visible in red states and building state level parties there, too.

So the fact the Dean is focusing on his national strategy and sticking with it even as 2006 looms should be applauded. The goal is nationality for the party, and this will help elect state level candidates as well, which become future national leaders. So the Democrat who wins the Mississippi state house seat today could help maintain a Democratic majority 10-20 years down the line.

I don't think, in light of the perfect storm that has Democrats poised for victory in 2006, that they will be hurting for money on any level. And Republicans have been steadily screwing things up since 2002. Just think what will happen by 2008.
