DNC Should Continue 50 State Staffing
Democratic successes over the past four years, including Obama’s election, owe a lot to the DNC 50 State Strategy which placed 3-4 staff people per state to assist state Democratic parties. The program was scheduled to terminate on November 30, 2008 and apparently is doing so. The new DNC leadership may — and should — resume the program, but in the meantime, we are losing 183 experienced and knowledgeable field people. The DNC should keep these folks on staff until decisions about the future course of the program are made. Below is my letter to Chairman Dean.

DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Does the Right Thing
The DNC RBC meeting I saw yesterday was one in which members and presenters strongly advocated their positions, but shared a commitment to Democratic Party ideals of participation, fairness, and party unity. Thus the Committee was able to reach compromises which implement those principles, resolve the outstanding disputes over seating of the Florida and Michigan delegations, and allow our presumptive nominee to focus on the issues that confront the American people. Specifically, the Committee voted to seat the full number of delegates from each state, each delegate with a half vote, and allocate the delegates generally according to primary percentage, with some adjustments for Michigan.Read More »DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Does the Right Thing
