Hmmm...new party?

Howard Dean will "lay out a vision for the future of the Democratic Party" in a live webcast this Wednesday at noon (Eastern time) from Washington, D.C.

More interestingly: "He will outline not just a direction for our party, but a concrete destination: a party built from the ground up," wrote Democracy for America Executive Director Tom McMahon in an email to DFA supporters this morning.

"That means a party powered by millions of small donors, not millionaires. It means a party that speaks plainly and commits to concrete outcomes that affect real people. And it means a party that competes in every single race, for every single vote, in all fifty states," wrote McMahon.

I think I'll tune in at www.DemocracyForAmerica.com on Wednesday to see what's up. I'd still have preferred that the Green Party would have been an actual presence in this year's election, but I'm all for having more kids in the pool -- especially if it means a challenge to America's retarded two-party stronghold -- and a new party with Dean at the forefront could be an interesting species indeed.

Now if I can just convince congress to switch to a parliamentary system...
