The Rebirth of the DNC

AP just did an interview with Howard Dean, former presidential candidate and governer.  He discusses the strategy of the DNC.
 
His goals are:
  • Making Democrats the party of values, community and reform. Armed with extensive DNC polling, Dean is consulting with party leaders in Congress, mayors and governors to recast the public's image of Democrats with a unified message.
  • Improving the party's "micro-targeting," the tactic of merging political information about voters with their consumer habits to figure out how to appeal to them.
  • Building a 50-state grass-roots organization using Internet and community-building tools.
Let's sum up this strategy. The Democrats will poll America and that will decide what the Democrats believe.  The biggest problem that the Democrats have is that they believe in nothing and rely on polling to remain in power.  Get a backbone people.  Take a stand on something.
