Dean's New Southern Strategy
Writing in the web-only version of The Nation, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) outlines "Dean's New Southern Strategy."
If Howard Dean wins the nomination around an economic agenda, and can effectively combat the certain Republican tactic of diversion--using social issues openly, and race more subtly, to sublimate economic concerns--then Democrats may once again be able to win in the South and pursue a progressive economic agenda for the benefit of all Americans.
That's Howard Dean's approach and his challenge. I support him because I think it's the right strategy politically, economically and morally.
