Post has a story now out on it:

This line caught my eye:
Dean is described by supporters as obsessed with his nascent strategy to win southern states, realizing it could be a key to his success.
So i give him an A for effort. While yes, we know Clark and Edwards are from the South, i don't see them laying out clearly their strategies for appealing to Southerners, other than saying "I'm one of you." I'm also glad Dean is treating black politicians with respect. one of the most infuriating things about Gore's campaign was how they deliberately tried to distance themselves from black leaders, lest that turn off those "swing voeters." Salon.com had an article on how Gore's handlers didn't even want Gore to be seen in a picture with Bill Cosby, of all people. Dean will not make the same mistake.
This article, from a native Mississipian, is also great for warning Dems not to write of those redneck Confederate flag folks. These are the folks who need the Democratic party the most as they see their jobs shipped overseas, a crumbling education system, and no health insurance. so they take their rage out on immigrants, on uppity feminists, on welfare queens who tax their tax dollars, everyone except the people who are responsible for their plight...
