Whether you come to praise or to bury the Dutchess County Republican Party, you have to give them some credit: At least they've entered the 21st century.
When I first took over this beat last year, it was easy to study the major players and structure of the county's Republican party. It's right there on the Web at www.dutchesscountyrepublicancommittee.org. But to figure out who's who among the county's Democrats and what they were up to? Not nearly so easy. I spent an afternoon trying to find a comparable Web site before finally giving up.
I brought this up recently with the county party's chairman, Joe Ruggiero, and he assured me that the Dutchess Demorcats soon would have a Web presence, too.
Ruggiero already has a Web site promoting his own candidacy for county executive. But the Dutchess County Democrats still have a way to go. If you search Google for "dutchess" and "democrats," the first link is to www.dutchessdemocrats.org with the tagline "Coming soon..." Click on the link and nothing happens. At least not yet.
