Long Strange Trippi for Edwards
Everything just changed in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Hillary is no longer the shoe-in the polls indicate. John Edwards has new life and is going to make a hard charge. At least that is the story in the Washington Post. To what do they attribute this new-found Edwardian vigor? Edwards has gotten the great presidential race guru Joe Trippi to sign on to his team.
Joe was the netroots innovator who got Howard Dean such great visibility. This visibility, excitement and money translated into…into…a screaming fall from grace. Still, Trippi is considered a real catch. He brings to the table not simply his association with Howard Dean but also his brilliant strategy that in 1992 guided Jerry Brown all the way to..uh…Oakland. Jerry hired him on because of his splendid record of taking Dick Gephardt all the way across Iowa in 1988.
With a track record like this Hillary is, I’m sure, quaking in her sling-back pumps.
