8. Joe Trippi, like Dick Morris, is part of the PROBLEM
not the solution. Just another "politics as usual" mercenary who whores himself out to the campaign with the most cash.

I went to college with these types, and they're the main reason why I didn't go into professional politics with my PoliSci degree.

These were the same types who either got marketing degrees and joined corporate America, or got PoliSci (or Communications) degrees and joined Corporate Politics. All they're worried about is image and getting some cushy administration job after their man wins the election.

What is truly amazing is that Trippi was able to transform a hawkish Rockefeller Republican into the "no more politics as usual" savior of the Democratic Party. Just like Karl Rove was able to transform a bumbling cokeheaded deserter into "presidential" material. The parallels are unsettling, to say the least.
