Joe Trippi joins the Edwards campaign

Here's a link to Trippi's blog post announcing the move.

And here's a link to a Daily Kos diary with more background and discussion of this hire.

The former Deaniacs I know in Iowa are largely undecided, with some leaning toward Edwards and others leaning toward Obama. I don't think anyone will make up his or her mind solely based on what Trippi does, but I think the move sends a positive signal about the change Edwards wants to bring to America.

What are your thoughts, and what have you been hearing from the people you know who caucused for Dean in 2004?

I'm Signing On
By Joe Trippi, April 19th, 2007
I really thought that the 2004 Presidential campaign would be the last I would be involved in. I have always wanted to make a difference, but for me I thought those days were over.
A few weeks ago, John and Elizabeth Edwards made their decision to continue, not just John Edwards' campaign for President, but their work together to make a difference for their country.

I like Joe, and I like John. They will be like those zanny kennedy brothers. Good news for John, who needs some more oomph, me thinks

A plus for Edwards (0.00 / 0)

I like Edwards and Obama and have been going back and forth. This is a positive for Edwards. I think he had the best internet campaign so far and Trippi will only help in that area.

I know a lot of people right there with you (0.00 / 0)

The people I know who are undecided between Edwards and Obama are waiting for the debates to see 1) who comes across as the strongest candidate, and 2) what policy specifics Obama will come up with.

Invite other Iowa political junkies to join us at Bleeding Heartland.
