Dean Vows to Flip State Legislatures
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) announced that his political action committee would launch a campaign to flip state legislatures around the country, the Huffington Post reports.
"In a conference call, Dean said that Democracy for America's 'Purple to Blue Project' would work to swing state legislatures from Republican to Democrat, starting in Virginia, then adding three states in 2014."

Wisconsin and Penn. We should secure our home turf first and then branch out. The Repugs are causing havoc in blue states.

state legislatures have managed to get passed in the last few years. The state parties in some of these places need serious help.
