Now all Howard needs to do is mortgage his house and he's all set to be the frontrunner again!

9. Dean told Trippi to take a lesser position in the campaign??

Dean just screwed himself into the ground IMO. Hell,Trippi is responsible for Dean getting this far with the genius idea of tapping the Internet for mom and pop kind of money.

I've sent money to both Dean and Kerry--actually more to Dean but I'm about ready to jump ship. I don't like Kerry for his voting for the War but right now I'd vote for a wheel barrow if it would get Bush the hell out of office.

Very,very stupid move Dean.

10. Apparently Kerry had a change of guard too, before

Iowa, so I hate to see Trippi go and I wonder if the guy Al Gore is shoe horning into Dean's campaign is better, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

I too am not happy with the candidates who voted for the IWR, especially after the revelations made to Congress today, but true it is ABB time.

12. Hey, I'm bummed too, but I'm still with Dean. Stick around and

watch what happens. I think Dean had to make a change since he slipped from front-runner to 3rd and then 2nd. It's just the way it goes with campaigns.

Trippi is great for all the things he was doing and I'm just so impressed how they captured the effective use of the Internet. It is so authentic with Dean as the candidate.

Maybe at this level they needed someone who had experience in some other areas.

I'm disappointed but I think that Howard Dean is capable of making the tough decisions, that's why I'm voting for him in the primary.
