Obama is sooo 2007

The youngest of voters are at risk for identity politics. Not too surprising but with Obama, his charisma has wiped out substance to the point of becoming parody. Yes! We can join the mob in believing in the audacity of false hope and no change! Yes! We can!

As for Romney, he lost because is was largely an unknown and had too many competitors. Had some of the competitors been pruned out and then supported Romney, things would be different. Keep your eyes open, from what I understand he has not released his delegates.

A Luddite

Though I'm sure he's learned a lot since 2003--he even did some live blogging at DFA--Dean admitted to not being too computer savvy during the 2004 presidential campaign. While he was thrilled with what everyone was doing, it appeared to mystify him some.

However, my guess is you're right, he's assigned a staffer to develop every communication channel possible--with a special emphasis on young voters. I've met some of the staffers the DNC has hired in California, and they're all young, and mostly hip. It's a demographic Dean, and many others in the Democratic Party, have said we must reach out to.

One of the highlights...

First, props to the editors for tracking this down. I've been looking for it.

Second, snaps to Danah for giving one of the most impressive and important speeches of the Conference.

Great work.
