MoveOn v. The Phoenix Group

Here's a link to an interesting article about "The Phoenix Group," who is organizing new, progressive "think" tanks to combat the growing conservative political movement.

Wait a sec...what was that I heard a few months ago about MoveOn "owning" the Democratic party? Looks like there's a little of that dreaded competition! The Phoenix Group now meets secretly about their plans for the party without even informing Howard Dean. "Senior DNC officials were quietly briefed about the meeting in recent weeks. DNC Chairman Howard Dean was aware of it, in part though his friendship with Stein, but one senior DNC source said the organizers “kept that list [of attendees] kind of tight.”

Get ready for the biggest in-fight you've ever seen. We've got the Clintons v. Howard Dean v. MoveOn v. The Phoenix Group! This is the begining of the middle part of the end of the Democratic Party as a national force. If there are this many people tugging at the vocal chords of the Democratic Party, we don't have anything to be afraid of.
