Howard Dean is the man. Before Barack Obama raised over 650 million dollars through the internet and Obama Campaign guru David Plouffe decided to go ahead with a 50 state strategy, Howard Dean was the guy that told the next batch of democratic candidates in 2008 to try and win in all 50 states and not just stick to the battleground states like Ohio and Florida. It was Dean during his campaign n 2004 that revolutionized campaign financing by asking people to donate small quantities over the internet. It was Dean that led The D.N.C. during this period of Democratic resurgence. Even though he may be forever known as the guy that had the primal scream moment in Iowa, he should be known as the man that led the way for the election of the first Black President. Thanks Howard and by the way you were right about taking all 50 states. It just took four years.

You know .. make a great point.. Howard Dean certainly unlocked the door to e-campaigning... Team Obama came along to that same door kicked it in and claimed it. Poor Howie.. he had a good thing going until he screamed like a banshee at that rally... ah well.
