Basically Gov. Dean has announced that the Democratic National Committee will send almost 500,000 bucks over to four states: Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, and West Virginia to use to focus on their specific needs.
These four states were choosen to see how this idea of sending funds from the National Party to the State Parties will work out. If it does, we can expect this to be continued on in more states.
I believe it will help no doubt. I'm very excited to hear this news because Lord knows some state parties need the help.
Hopefully the local party officials will be good stewards of the funds and come up with creative ways to spend these funds wisely so that we can be sucessfull in upcoming elections.
