From the Moonie newspaper, The Washington Times:
Two years after he resigned from the House, former Republican leader Tom DeLay says conservatives haven't bottomed out from their 2006 election losses, Democrats are "cleaning their clock," and it will take years before the Republican Party can compete with the operation Democrats have built.
We have been very lucky to have Howard Dean as chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) since February 2005. It was Dean that fought for the "50-state strategy"; i.e., that Democrats should devote resources to building the Democratic Party in all 50 states, not just so-called "swing states". You might think to yourself, "Well, duh!", but the Clinton organization, led by Terry McAuliffe, Dean's predecessor at the DNC, had adhered to the "swing state" model.
This morning I was one of several million people who got an email from Obama (he calls me "Robert L", a private joke between us) that said:
Today, I am proud to announce that our presidential campaign will be the first in a generation to deploy and maintain staff in every single state.
This guy knows what he's doing.
Update: If your appetite for Republican woe is not yet satisfied, head over here for more!
