Wesley Clark needs to hire Joe Trippi. That would end BFEE.

1. I'm pretty sure Trippi already has a job…

:)

[billbuckhead]

2. Is job to beat Bush or suc# Dean Quixote's dic# ?

[ryharrin]

3. Is the job to beat Bush or to push Clark in any way possible?

In my eyes, and in many, many other people's eyes, Dean is more electable.

[RaRa]

8. Could you elaborate?

I was an early Dean supporter (who was waiting for Clark). My constant is that Dean is far less electable and that Clark is by far the strongest to go against Bush. I'm completely baffled by your assumption. What's your take on it? Also, where do you live? While I live in downtown Chicago, I have relatives in small and mid town America and know that there is no way Dean could win in such parts. Personally, I also have been becoming less convinced of his sincerity. Between the anger that seems to represent him (i.e. in contrast to a "hopeful" message) and the whole rich New England background, I'm less interested in him than I was during my more appreciative early Iraq war II days. I'm really not being sarcastic. I'd like to know your reasoning. I've just been so convinced that Clark is the only one to stand a chance against this schmuck.

4. Dean will pimp out Trippi to Clark...

If Clark will "toss his salad."

Waddaya think Bill? I think Clark'll go for it.

5. congrats!

you've finally convinced me that you're the biggest douchebag among DU's 35,000 members.

10. Put your best candidate with your best political mind & manager. ABB?

If this is really about what's right for the world. for real American real patriotism and democracy or is it for something else?

[mrgorth]

9. Veeeeery intelligent.

[ibegurpard]

11. Interesting analogy

Trippi is working for who he chooses to work for...Perhaps Trippi is doing it not just for the money but because he believes in his candidate? I know it's a remote possibility...campaign people can be pretty mercenary. Anyhow, do you apply that analogy to yourself when YOU are doing your job?

[billbuckhead]

15. I'm just a lonely freedom fighter

All I know is that Bear Bryant said Sam Cunningham helped integrate the south when he helped kicked Alabama's ass his junior year and his senior year he was Anthony Davis's blocking back when USC won the national championship. Sometimes, the blocking back is the real star and Trippi is far more impressive than Dean.

[HFishbine]

21. Brilliant!

That's about the most stupid thing I've seen on DU since I came here. You're a real jerk -- obviously getting desperate about something, and since your post is nothing more than a subject line, I'm recommending it be locked.

[Skip Intro]

6. I have a gut feeling they'll all be on the same team soon enough

Just a feeling...

7. does the crazy half of america live on the moon

or are they just apathetic or what? it's like, jeez, man.

TIMECNN POLL: Most Registered Voters Would Choose Bush
Fri Nov 21 2003 19:44:24 ET

New York - If the 2004 Presidential election was held today, registered voters surveyed for TIME/CNN would choose President George W. Bush over any of the declared Democratic candidates.

In a direct run against Bush, Gen. Wesley Clark fares the best among registered voters (Clark 42%, Bush 49%), closely followed by Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (Kerry 41%, Bush 49%).

Bush would beat any of three other Democrats, 52 percent to 39 percent, in a direct match: Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt, Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman, or Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. Against Bush, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards would lose, 38 percent to 52 percent.

When registered Democrats are asked which Democratic presidential nominee they would vote for, Dean edges out Clark 14 percent to 12 percent, followed Lieberman (11%), Kerry (9%), Gephardt (6%), then Edwards and the Rev. Al Sharpton (5%).

The TIME/CNN Poll, conducted November 18-19, 2003 by HarrisInteractive, surveyed 1,330 registered voters by telephone. The margin of error is +/-2.7% points for registered voters, and +/-4.7% for Democratic voters surveyed for TIME/CNN.

[onehandle]

12. Link?

[alcuno]

13. Where are the rest of the Democrats?

When you add them up, you've only accounted for 57% of them. Where are the other 43%? They probably don't even know who's running so it's not surprising that they pick *. It's just to early to match them up one on one. People don't know who the Democratic nominee is. I've seen polls that indicate more people are likely to vote for any Dem than *. Wait until they meet Howard Dean or Wesley Clark.

[rumguy]

14. Most voters

haven't looked closely at any of the dem. candidates...

What's important to watch now is bush's approval rating.

This poll means nothing this early in the game.

[David Zephyr]

16. BB. I Agree With You. Trippi is Brilliant and He Picked Dean.

Think about that, bro. :hi:

[Julien Sorel]

17. If I remember correctly, Trippi has never won a single election

for anyone. He has caught lightning in a bottle here, and his campaign has caught nearly every break possible, and he's still got a candidate whose poll numbers haven't budged in a month. Trippi was a near-nobody before this campaign, and that's likely what he will be soon afterwards.

[pruner]

18. he did win Texas for Kennedy against Carter

:bounce:

[billbuckhead]

19. And then pickBobGraham, John Edwards,Mary Landrieu,MaxCleland,HaroldFord

whatever it takes to win in the south without embracing the the ConFlag.

[pruner]

20. Trippi has been an advisor to Dean since his early days as Governor…

he volunteered to work as Dean's presidential campaign manager for free.
