Ah, the debate between the populists and the libertarians of the Democratic Party. As I see it, relying on corporate donations undermines the populist appeal, reinforces the "latte liberal" stereotype, and encourages Democrats in office to be Republican-lite. Howard Dean is right. While money is important in politics, it's not everything, and not relying on corporate donations makes it easier for everyone to see that the Democratic Party really is an alternative to the Republicans.
It would be one thing if the DNC strategies of 2000-2004 had actually worked. But the record shows this hasn't worked, so changes are critical. Howard Dean is making these changes.
