Mar 2013

If i was the RNC I woiuld be worried right now because they know exactly what Howard Dean can and will do. What Rahm Emmauel forgets is that Deans 50 State Strategy caused the Republicans to spend money in states that they normally wouldnt have had to. I live in Virginia and Webb beat Allenn in 2006 and nobody outside of Northern Virginina knew who Webb was prior to August of 2006. Virginia has now gone Democaratic nationally for 2 straight elections after not voting for a Democrat since Johnson in 1964. What this does is it causes the Republicans to make a choice as to where to spend thier money and even with Citizens United you can only target certain campaigns. This is a smart move and I am so glad he is going after the Virginia House of Delegates first.
