WASHINGTON The three candidates for the Democratic nomination are attempting to win the endorsement from Democracy for America, a progressive grassroots group founded out of Howard Deans 2004 presidential campaign.
DFA is going to make a primary endorsement soon, and that means leaders from the group are polling its members to find out who they like the most. Whichever Democratic candidate wins the DFA membership vote will get the groups endorsement, as well as grassroots political efforts to bolster that candidates campaign using DFAs well-established national political network.
The Democratic campaigns are pushing to win that vote. And so this week, each candidate is sending a letter to DFA members stating his or her case for the groups endorsement. Members then vote in an online poll running through next Tuesday. Final results will be announced next Thursday. ...............
