...Dean campaign to hear its ideas and on their own have started blogs, Meetups and special drives to solicit small donations. "They're already on top of it, and that's the first time I've seen the D.N.C. on top of anything for a while," says Donna Brazile, Gore's former campaign manager. Political consultants as far away as West Africa have contacted Dean's Web team. The office of the Prime Minister of Canada has called twice. Trippi may have left Dean's campaign, but his ideas have already been stolen, which guarantees them a life in this...

And Dean could also save the Democrats from a left-wing split. In 2000 Al Gore lost in part because of the far-left Ralph Nader challenge. Dean has managed to bring these voters back into the fold--without making any drastic policy commitments that could come back to haunt him. Kerry in comparison? Gore redux...
