Dean Leading DNC Race http://politicalwire.com/archives/2005/01/14/dean_is_leading_choice_for_democrats.html
Political Wire reports that polling of 40% of DNC delegates reveals that among those with a preference (including 1st and 2nd ballots), Dean is leading the race for DNC Chair with about 40% of the total (or 74 total votes). This is a significant plurality given the number of candidates in the race. Dean's closest competitor is Rep. Martin Frost of Texas with about 30% (or 50 total votes). Encouraging news, but we still have a long way to go between now and February 12th.
You can read more analysis of this by Jerome Armstrong at www.mydd.com.
USA Today also has a brief article on the DNC race and the impact that technology and Dean's message has played in the race. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techpolicy/2005-01-13-dnc-tech_x.htm

About Nation-Building
Nation-Building was founded by Aziz Poonawalla in August 2002 under the name Dean Nation. Dean Nation was the very first weblog devoted to a presidential candidate, Howard Dean, and became the vanguard of the Dean netroot phenomenon, raising over $40,000 for the Dean campaign, pioneering the use of Meetup, and enjoying the attention of the campaign itself, with Joe Trippi a regular reader (and sometime commentor). Howard Dean himself even left a comment once. Dean Nation was a group weblog effort and counts among its alumni many of the progressive blogsphere's leading talent including Jerome Armstrong, Matthew Yglesias, and Ezra Klein. After the election in 2004, the blog refocused onto the theme of "purple politics", formally changing its name to Nation-Building in June 2006. The primary focus of the blog is on articulating purple-state policy at home and pragmatic liberal interventionism abroad.
