23. The most interesting part of the article is the conflict between

"We need a unified message" and the creation of clusters of "like minded individuals" so that campaigns can be tailored to appeal to specific voter groups. This is the central conflict of the party, IMNSHO - - do we all have to agree on (GOP imposed) hot button issues like choice, gay rights, gun control, or can we agree to disagree on them? And if we do agree to disagree - - how do we explain that in a coherent way to non-Democrats?

The folks who want Dean (or grassroots oriented reform inside the Dem party) to fail will continue to play up that conflict.
