Howard Dean pours extra money into four red states.

[TheresNoMoney]

They're trying to put money into all states that need it, not just those four. There have already been others and more are on the way.

[TheresNoMoney]

He has poured more money into those states, but has brought in far less money than the Republicans

Republicans always outraise the Democrats because they are the party of big business and corporate giveaways.

Democrats will never outraise Republicans.

Ahh, but that was one of the reasons behind selecting him as the chairman.  He had that gang-buster of a money raising system when running for President which has all but came to a stop these days. 

Not true. Terry McCauliffe was a great fundraiser but he sucked as DNC Chair.

Dean is doing very well fundraising, he just isn't getting the money from the big corporate donors. I think that's a good thing.

North Carolina doesn't make any sense because there's not another statewide election there till 2008. 

This is all part of the big picture, the long-term strategy to strengthen each state, even if we don't expect to win in those states for a while.

Arizona's like GA, I'm afraid is a big state we'll have to let go of.

I disagree. Arizona is one of the states we most need to focus on, as well as Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.

BTW, it's hilarious that Dean is wasting money in Mississippi.

Democrats don't expect to win Mississippi anytime soon. It's about laying the groundwork.

Why is your avatar Democratic?

[TheresNoMoney]

I should certainly think so- you seem to believe that Colorado will somehow become a Democratic stronghold overnight by 2008.

No, just more competitive, a true swing-state.

[TheresNoMoney]

Laying the groundwork for what- losing whites by "only" 75-25?

It's a start! Plus there's a very large black population in that state.

The stupidity of this comment is hilarious.

Wa-wa-wa!! You know the comment is 100% true!!

As for Scoonie, "naive" applies.

Who the hell are you and why are you talking about me? PM me if you want to talk about me.

The Deaniac is at it again:

How is anything he said incorrect? Why is there a different standard for Democrats to criticize Republicans than there is Republicans to criticize Democrats?

[TheresNoMoney]

[Nothing wrong with criticizing . . . just criticize over real things.  The Republicans are not an almost white organization, nor built of mostly millionaires/billionaires who do not work.

Look back at Dean's quote. He said "many" republicans have never made an honest living in their lives. That is a true statement (the same could also be said for many Democrats). He didn't say "all" or "most", he said many.

As for being an almost all white organizaton, isn't this pretty much true?

While you may not like the way Dean presents himself, can we at least agree that what he is saying is pretty much true?
