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.

Barack Obama is the only candidate who talks about what unites us more than what divides us and that is one reason why he should be our next President.
As we are all Americans, we are also all Virgnians. I grew up and live in Northern Virginia, but have lived in Charlottesville and Richmond and travelled to every corner of the Commonwealth. What unites us is far greater than what divides us, as the following Virgnia Pilot editorial said so wellRead More »One Virginia (for Obama)
