DNC’s 50-state Strategy
March 16th, 2006 at 10:51am Chase Martyn
The DNC has this post to its “blog” about its 50-state strategy. I know I’ve heard people talking about how great it is (and perhaps it really is a novel approach), but I wonder how far down it really goes. That is, will they be helping random campaigns for State Representative, or just high-profile campaigns like Governors, US Congressmen, etc.?
I guess we’ll find out how “grassroots” the plan really is this summer, which is also when we’ll find out how many states the DNC is really going to be pressing in. I know Iowa’s on the list somewhere, but is it really a top priority?

I’m pretty sure that money is for more long term party building activities, not campaigns or candidates. (Different committees, not Howard Dean, handle that stuff.)

I’m pretty sure Hannah’s right.

So the money and the organization isn’t supposed to make a difference at the polls? I think that no matter what strategy they’re trying, its objective is ultimately to get more Democrats elected.
And if that’s not the case, then our party is in deeper trouble than I thought.

Of course it’s to elect Democrats, it’s just a long-run as opposed to a 2006 strategy.
I could swear there was a Times article about this last week, but now I can’t find it. I think it was largely about Mississippi. Anyone?
