The answer, as Mickey Kaus observes in Slate, is that the party is following the money. The energy and the dough are in the MoveOn.org wing, which is not even a wing of the party, but the head and the wallet. Only the most passionate and liberal voices can stir up this network of online donors from the educated class. That's swell, but have they given any thought to finding voters? It sounds like this Dean-ite class truly believes that their only electoral problem involves "getting their message out". Many of us who used to vote Democratic have been trying to tell them that we heard the message just fine, that's not where their problem lies. But they don't seem to believe it. Karl Rove must be dancing for joy.
