State of the State Party? Not So Good

Chris Bowers at myDD has been beating the change-the-party-from-the-inside drum for years, and he’s backed up the talk, running for and winning seats on the city and state Demcoratic committees.

His report from the latest state meeting primarily concerns the loyalty-over-everything attitude of the Philadelphia party leadership. This is a really important story, especially since party leader Bob Brady is seriously considering a run for Mayor. He’s definitely moved far down my own priority list, that’s for sure.
