As a former Dean and now Edwards supporter: Take a pass on Joe Trippi in future
I didn't think the guy did any favors for Dean and while the media was largely responsible for Edwards not getting as much traction as he should have, I doubt that Trippi helped much. Just my feeling.

1. I tried to warn you guys.
As soon as I saw Trippi was Edwards' campaign manager I knew he'd never have a chance. The guy is a LOSER.

2. I'll go along with that.
Trippi has a big mouth, not enough subtlety and too much of what he says is about himself (how clever he is, etc.)

3. Trippi was great as a Internet organizer
but I wouldn't hire him as a campaign manager.

4. Agreed. Joe Trippi is a loser as a campaign manager. . .
and I don't hang around losers.

5. We need a nickname for Trippi's talents
There is the "Curse of the Shrummy" for Bob Shrum and his disasters a.k.a. campaigns. What should we say for Trippi, something like "Joe as your campaign manager can lead to a bad trip".

Seriously, it's horrible to see such a great candidate go down in flames due to a weak staff.

He's improving!
