Chris Bowers on the fate of the 50 State Strategy:
In short, the DNC will be moving away from the long-term, decentralized, fifty-state strategy of Howard Dean’s tenure, and toward serving as a short-term, centralized re-election effort for President Obama in 2012.
I would have been surprised by any other result, but this is still disappointing to hear. Just as businesses ultimately do themselves a disservice by focusing on quarterly results, so do political parties, too.
