The Inquirer has a fascinating article by Thomas Fitzgerald on a new effort to change the direction of the Philadelphia Democratic Party:
At conferences and in soul-searching magazine articles, national liberals are in a funk, asking why they keep losing elections.
Some Philadelphia liberals recently decided to quit wringing their hands and instead launched a political group, Neighborhood Networks, to change the direction of the city Democratic Party on the ground.
The idea, organizers say, is to build a system of division and ward leaders to push for liberal candidates and causes - and clean up city politics. Group founders drew 230 people to a June 4 inaugural meeting, many of them activists still flush from success in mobilizing anti-Bush voters last fall.
As Daniel pointed out on these pages last week, Chris Bowers is working on a similar reform campaign.
