The 50-state strategy that has been the hallmark of Dean's term as Democratic Party chairman seems to have won acceptance from many party activists, judging from a sample of delegates interviewed as they arrived for the convention.

"It was brilliant," said delegate Leslie Howard of Modesto, Calif. "I think he's been great all around, but then I'm kind of a crazy liberal."

Under the 50-state strategy, the Democratic National Committee provides funding to all 50 state Democratic operations so they can hire staff with the goal of building grass-roots support in every precinct.
