Well, here you have it.
"In the last year, grass-roots contributors like us gave more than $300-million to the Kerry campaign and the DNC, and proved that the Party doesn't need corporate cash to be competitive," MoveOn's 24-year-old executive director said in a recent e-mail urging members to back an outsider for chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
"Now it's our Party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back."
A lot of Democrats are terrified at the prospect.

And so they should be.
The "establishment" is about to be rocked yet again.
'Way back in the '60s, wild-eyed radicals brought down Lyndon Johnson, demonized Richard Nixon so badly that even he believed them (which brought on Watergate), and eventually, those wild-eyed radicals became "the establishment", like Senators Kerry and Clinton.
And now, there's a new bunch of "wild-eyed radicals" - and just like the '60s, they're trying new ways of changing "the establishment".
Looks like MoveOn.Org is succeeding, to me.
