I did note the bit about Jim Moore working with commercial vendors to
deploy open-source software. It sounds to me like he understands that
"commercial" talks about how you get stuff and "open-source" talks about
the stuff you get, even if he doesn't avoid calling software
"commercial". The Dean campaign (as an organization) is quite technically
savvy, and it isn't too surprising that they'd be choosing software based
on technical merits. It's also nice to hear that they found open-source
software to be technically better.
