1. Article about plans for state parties, from a speech today.

WASHINGTON - "Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Friday that the national party will invest almost half a million dollars in state parties in Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota and West Virginia.

All four states were won by President Bush in the 2004 presidential election.

"This is just the beginning," Dean told state Democratic chairs at a meeting of their association in Little Rock, Ark. "We will announce additional investments in the weeks ahead."

Dean has been to 14 states in his two months as chairman and has pledged to build state parties all across the nation, including in states dominated by Republicans.

3. He keeps his eyes on the goal of rebuilding.

While all the tugs of war are going on about 08 and other topics, he is empowering the state parties just as he said he would. Building from the ground up.

6. Dean is doing exactly what he should be doing

Which is exactly why I supported him for this role in the first place. I trusted Howard would not take his eye off the ball.
