50 State Strategy: Alaska
Posted by on April 15, 2006 at 09:01 PM
It's not the 48 contiguous states strategy, it's the fifty state strategy. And while we might not talk as much about Alaska (unless Senator Stevens is flying off the handle and threatening to take his ball and go home), Democrats are getting it done in the far far far Northwest. From the Homer News:
With the Republican Party in power at the national and state level, the Democratic Party is the first to admit they have some work to do. Local Democrats last weekend rolled up their sleeves and reorganized at the annual District 35 caucus, held in Homer at the Beluga Lake Lodge. They elected two new co-chairs, Julia Person and Robert F. Ward, and passed resolutions on everything from the Pebble mine to recycling old computers. [...]
"If we have the whole district organized, we can have a clear message based on participation," Ward said. "We can put out a real solid voice on the issues of the day."

I would like to know what the strategy is...reading these blogs it definitly isnt the democratic VOTERS strategy. If JFK or RFK could hear what Ted Kennedy and John McCain are doing to this country right now they would be flipping in their graves.
Our 50 State Strategy is working quite well.We just sit back and let the Republicans self destruct,and present a "UNITED" agenda to the American people.The lower the poll numbers get for this Administration, the more the spot light is on the Democratic Party.What I'm most proud of is not the fact that the spotlight is on the Demoratic Party,but that our Leadership has realized this and is taking advantage of it to let the American People know that we have a plan.I am not proud to be a Democrat because the Republicans look so bad right now.I'm proud to be a Democrat because our Leadership is starting to show that they really can do better.
I agree, it doesn't seem like the Dems have any kind of strategy and are not listening to their own constituents. Although the further away from 9/11 we get, the less deaf they seem to be.
In the Friday, April 14th edition of the Pilot newspaper,(You remember the Pilot, Cheney referred to it as the hometown newspaper of John Edwards during the 2003 Presidential debates, it's out of beautiful Southern Pines, NC) Brian Deaton has an OpEd piece titled; "The Vision Thing: It's Wrong to Say Democrats Dont's Have It. It is a very good read. This is what the Democratic Party I joined, (all those years ago...) stood for, before they became the "Republican Wanttabees".
My only problem with this whole article is the fact that it was written by the chairman of the Political Action Committee of the Moore County Democratic Party. Is it a good thing that I relate so closely to a lobbyist? It almost seems dirty!?!
Please go to www.thepilot.com to read this article before the Wednesday April 19th edition comes out. The reason is that to see back further you would have to buy a subscription. I promise, it's a good read.
Last, I submit that this is the perfect place for Dems to come to voice concerns, ideas, discuss current events and to write what is happening in your town. Hope to see more than the few I have read here.
Was wondering about Busby and her odds at winning. Why are'nt we running a fighting Democrat in that district? It is full of Navy people.
