Reply #75: those with concerns, as opposed to those just reflexively bashing,

look to the news as a nod towards the strategy direction of the campaign. Hits the split - shots called centrally from the DC experienced folks (more traditional - but some very successful campaigns) - vs. a more decentralized campaign with more on the ground in key states (or utilizing the net to organize in more states - but have less autonomy/centralized direction.) Arguments to be made for each direction. Personally I think the face of campaigns and strategy has GOT to begin to shift, as any dem cannot campaign as the GOP (and even we Dems) expect - given the huge funding advantage that Bush will have against any candidate - thus a campaign that changes the 'rules' might pull a bit of an advantage in that the GOP will have to expend more resources just trying to counter (since it won't be able to anticipate) the moves of said campaign. The DraftCLark movement suggested some inclination towards this direction. This move (it would appear) suggests movement away from that kind of campaign strategy.
