What Dean needs from the Dems

An interesting view of the Dean campaign: a borging of the Democratic party in order to rescue the brand for an Internet-centric political party:

Other candidates — Joseph Lieberman , John Kerry, John Edwards — are competing to take control of the party's fundraising, organizational and media assets. But Dean is not interested in taking control of those depreciating assets. He is creating his own party, his own lists, his own money, his own organization. What he wants is the Democratic brand name and legacy, its last remaining asset of value, as part of his marketing strategy.
