From CNN’s Political Ticker. Seems Carly Fiorina got after Dean for saying this:

“If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic Party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the Republican Party,” Dean said Friday in an appearance on NPR’s “Tell Me More” program.

Too funny.

Truth hurt, Carly?

Which is kinda the point of the book; offering a means to reinvigorate the Dem party in the south.

And it goes with Howie/Blue America’s drive for better, progressive Dems and not more members from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party

But that means a lot of them. Look at all the DLC’ers & Blue Dogs we have in the Senate and House

That would be the corporatist Dems allowing the brand to fall apart since they go after the money as Republican lite and lose the ability to offer a progressive alternative.

We’re going to get a good read on that this November in FL. Gay marriage amendment on the ballot. The reichwing Rethugs in the legislature seem to have overplayed their hand this time around. While everybody in the state is screaming about schools and taxes the legislature tried, and failed, to pass a bill allowing creationism to be taught in schools. Did not sit well with the public of all stripes. Nor are some of the amendments that were put on the ballot by petition. Almost all from fundie/reichwing groups.

I was wondering: What do the corporation money in politics have to do with the decline of the Democratic brand?
