Howard makes a move...

speaking of things being quiet, a number of folks, myself included, have been wondering what howard dean's been up to... well, here's one of the things (from my email)...
Every four years, a few months before the presidential election, the Democratic Party puts staff and resources on the ground in a few battleground states ... and then they're gone. After November the whole operation disappears.

Then, four years later, we do the same thing all over again.

That hasn't worked. And I ran for chairman on a promise to do it another way.

So a few days ago I met with the state party chairs, and we made a decision together. For the first time ever we're going to build for the future by putting staff and resources on the ground early -- starting in 2005, not 2008.

[...]

The Republican Party isn't waiting. They have been building for years, and every day that slips by means another opportunity missed.
