Democratic Governors Association: “Fight The Right” Initiative

(Video is not work safe – language). Love it!

The Democratic Governors Association has launched a new grassroots effort, all part of the DGA's "Fight the Right" initiative, www.FightTheRight2010.com. The Washington Monthly:

In a press release, DGA executive director Nathan Daschle said, "This is a volatile political environment — all the more reason to rally our base. Today's Republican party is dominated by the Tea Party-Sarah Palin fringe, which is forcing candidates further and further to the right. Governors are traditionally immune to ideological purity contests, but today's GOP won't accept anything short of rigid adherence to an out-of-touch dogma. All this at a time when the stakes in the 37 governors' races this fall couldn't be higher — they'll affect Congressional majorities, redistricting, the 2012 Presidential race, not to mention the lives of hardworking men and women."

This video, which the DGA press release concedes is "provocative," features a great movie montage of inspirational moments. The clip, called "Never Surrender," includes scenes from Animal House, Network, Lord of the Rings, 300, Miracle, Cool Runnings, League of their Own, Rocky, and perhaps most amusingly, a line from Die Hard 2. "Never Surrender" will be formally unveiled at Netroots Nation 2010 in Las Vegas.
