First, Howard Dean will stay as DNC Chair. We actually have a 50-state party after all. As opposed to the Hillary/DLC strategy of just courting only already blue states. since of course that has been a winning strategy up until '06 when we tried Dean's way.

Obama's uber-strategist Paul Tewes has moved into the DNC building.

And, no more lobbyist money into DNC coffers:

 Quote:
"The DNC and the Obama Campaign are unified and working together to elect Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. Our presumptive nominee has pledged not to take donations from Washington lobbyists and from today going forward the DNC makes that pledge as well," said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. "Senator Obama has promised to change the way things are done in Washington and this step is a sure sign of his commitment. The American people's priorities will set the agenda in an Obama Administration, not the special interests."


uh oh. Now Obama won't be beholden to lobbyists and large donors in order to get elected . He'll have to continue to rely on the general public donating small $20.00 donations and actually answering to them. So as opposed to Hilary, he'll actually have something to challenge McCain with, since his campaign is nothing but lobbyists, to dictators, the energy companies, banks wanting to foreclose on average Americans etc. etc.
