Wake Up: 2006 is a Base Election
The recommended reading of the day is provided by Matt Stoller of MyDD. Think about it in terms of the battle the grassroots is having with NM Dem Party officers and insiders about the watered down, weakly written 2006 Platform. And how an effort to replace it with the actual resolutions that traveled up the committee structure and had previously been approved by the State Central Committee, was stymied out of fear of being too "controversial." The base here definitely isn't happy. Not a good thing if you're a Dem candidate. They've got to give people something to fight for, don't they?

I love the resolutions. I hate the platform.

Matt Stoller has been putting out some kickass pieces of late. I read him every chance I get. Good to see his stuff being circulated on blogs like this one.
