Was Trippi Moved out because he Dissed Gore? Gore was needed in NH!

[seventhson]

I am just wondering out loud here whether the reason for the shakeup with Trippi had to do with his advising Dean to keep Gore out of New Hampshire.

Why wasn't Gore in the forefront rallying his troops for Dean?

Did Trippi dis Gore and make a major error.

Wouldn't Gore have helped if he had been with Dean in Iowa?

I expect to get flamed here by the Kerry lovers and Gore haters - but this new guy is a Gore insider.

I have read somewhere today that Gore had advised Dean to bring this guy in sooner and bigger, but that was possibly nixed by Trippi and this led to Trippi's leaving possibly.

Anyone agree that Gore is NEEDED to rally the Dean troops and the GOTV for Dean?

I can see where this could have caused a major shakeup.

If Gore really wants Dean he needs to be out there the way Kennedy was out there for Kerry - which I think helped a lot/

I think Gore could be a HUGE help in the next month of primaries.

But somebody has to ask him to show up and growl for Dean and growl against Bush.

Agree? Thoughts?

Or what?

1. Dean needs Gore in the South

that's for sure.

2. The guy was major league a-hole

I watched him get interviewed on cspan. When he was asked if Dean would support the nominee if it wasn't Dean he answered in a "we could give a damn" manner. No smiles. Not even an attempt.

In fact every answer was tainted with a stuck up jack ass attitude. I wonder how many votes he lost Dean with that interview alone.

on edit: I am speaking of Trippi.

3. I've been wondering where his heavy hitter

supporters were. Jesse Jackson Jr endorsed him and really should be doing commercials appealing to the Black community and I have heard nothing and the same with Bobby Scott in Virgina. These and other presumed heavy hitters should be out speaking. Internet is good for donations and some information but it can't replace up close and personal.

4. Gore should have been in NH and Dean's TV ads are terrible. Hope new guy

will see to it that they are better.

5. Gore was in IA

for Dean, along with Bradley and Harkin. They did those campaign stops together. Didn't help.

Maybe the Dean campaign realized that.

6. No.

Dean's problem is that he is a foot wide and a mile deep. He cultivated a very narrow base. When it was showtime it didn't work.

Dean might save the play but it will be tough. I have to wonder if todays shakeup will work.

I lean left for Clark but he is doing worse.
