Shouldn't DWS be doing SOMETHING to convince them to vote for Democrats? I mean, what the hell is she paid for? And wasn't it Kaine who gave us the all-inspiring Circle D logo? How'd that work out?

Dean understood we needed to reach out to voters who moved away from the Democratic Party. I forget his exact words, but it had to do with good ol' boys in trucks who are just as concerned about the economy as the rest of us. There is a MASSIVE pool of dissatisfied Americans the Democratic Party should be tapping into.

The conventions are nice and shiny, but what is the Democratic Party doing the off years to inspire voters?
