Purplenecks

Todd and I started this blog two years ago this month as a way to vent our fury over the Iraq War, and to give voice to a seemingly long-forgotten segment of the American electorate--Southern progressives. Bob Moser over at the Nation shows how under the leadership of Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee's "50-State Strategy" is meant to rebuild not just the "solid South" but to create a meaningful capacity for progressives to win elections even in notoriously red states, and so far it's working--that is, if the Democratic party insiders don't eviscerate the strategy. Whole thing here.
