Reply #15: WHAT the HELL are you talking about?

Really. I don't have a CLUE what your rant is about. Please explain.

You said: Now here we have someone's "brilliant idea" that what the democratic party needs to do is just scuttle any difference at all and become indistinguishable from the republicans entirely!

Where did you get that idea? I don't see it.

Further, if you want some real leadership, as you SAY you do, you need look no further than Howard Dean. Here's what his ideas for the DNC involve:

Major Speech Wednesday
http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/005625.html
Democracy for America Executive Director, Tom McMahon, sent this email to DFA supporters this morning.

Governor Dean will lay out a vision for the future of the Democratic Party this Wednesday at 12 p.m. Eastern in Washington, D.C.

He will outline not just a direction for our party, but a concrete destination: a party built from the ground up.

That means a party powered by millions of small donors, not millionaires. It means a party that speaks plainly and commits to concrete outcomes that affect real people. And it means a party that competes in every single race, for every single vote, in all fifty states.

You can watch live video of the speech on Wednesday morning at the Democracy for America web site:

Be sure to join us for the live webcast on Wednesday at 12 p.m. Eastern. Thank you.

P.S. -- Since I last wrote to you, about the need to protect every vote in the Washington Governor's race, over 15,000 small donations poured in to put the Washington Democratic Party over the top -- they raised enough money to pay for a full hand count and ensure that every vote counts.

Democratic candidate Christine Gregoire's campaign manager wrote a personal thank-you to the Democracy for America community. Read his letter and all the latest news at the blog: www.blogforamerica.com
