The Governor Wins

Lots of people have been trash-talking Howard Dean for the past few years, ridiculing his "50 States" strategy and his reaching out to the grass roots - and net roots - of the party.

Guess what?

He did it. It worked.

Democrats fielded contenders everywhere and won seats no one thought they'd win - and lost not one House seat. Spreading the money into states where Democrats had conceded in the past - Missouri, Florida, Kentucky - Dean's strategy energized local races and won a decisive majority of both governorships and state legislatures.

Good work, Governor.

And let's give him more to work with in 2008 - contribute to the DNC.
