The implosion of the Dean campaign

[quinnox]

I am sorry to see the crumpling of the Dean campaign. Dean is a good man, and he deserves better advisors and help than he has gotten. I don't put all the blame on Trippi, but the squandering of resources does raise serious questions. I don't know if Trippi lined his own pockets by using his own ad company, but Dean should at the very least been better served in the area of campaign finance manager.

1. Haven't you heard?

It's not his fault.

Yes...Dean is responsible for his own insurgance, but he's not responsible for his own downfall.

It's a conspiracy against him.

3. I don't know if the Dean campaign is "imploding"

But I did just remember the flood of posts on DU when Kerry's campaign staff had a shakeup last fall. 4 out of 5 DUers were declaring Kerry DOA. What a laugh!

4. I think the internet fund raising was a good idea

but, I don't think the numbers were real.

6. Please don't say "I'm sorry"...

You've been a steadfast anti-Dean poster here for months. You have a temporary realization of your efforts. Good for you!

I DID say temporary. We're not going away. As an outsider, I don't see why you care about Trippi...we're comfortable with him. Thanks for the sentiments, but we're O.K.
