[Closer]

I especially love Trippi's hilarious quote at the end.

Don't tell me Dean's camp doesn't read DU :-)

RNC Chair Travels To Vermont To Attack Dean

BURLINGTON--In another sign of just how unconcerned the Republican National Committee (RNC) is of Democratic presidential candidate Governor Howard Dean, M.D., the RNC's chair, Ed Gillespie, will travel to Vermont today to preemptively attack a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

In the keynote speech at the Vermont GOP's 45th Annual Fall Dinner, Gillespie will underscore how the RNC is not at all afraid to put its special interest-funded President up against the greatest grassroots campaign that presidential politics has ever seen.

While in Vermont, Gillespie is expected to study how Governor Dean managed to balance 11 budgets in a row while providing health care to nearly every child and preserving the environment—accomplishments President Bush has been unable to achieve as president or governor.

"We're pleased that Ed is coming to Vermont to learn about Governor Dean’s record of balancing budgets and providing quality health care," Campaign Manager Joe Trippi said. "Ed's political trip to Vermont to attack Governor Dean in his home state makes it abundantly clear that the Bush campaign is not at all concerned by the governor's message of taking our country back."

Details of tonight's speech are as follows:

WHO: RNC Chair Ed Gillespie

WHAT: Attacking Dean

WHERE: Champlain Valley Exposition

Blue Ribbon Pavilion

Essex Junction, Vermont

WHEN: Tuesday, December 2, 2003

Cocktails at 6 p.m.

Speeches/Dinner at 7 p.m.

1. Trippi's been known to lurk on DU, he may even have a handle...

[demnan]

My vote goes to Dean but it's really you I want to be President.

[SahaleArm]

4. This is awesome, hee hee! Shrub's people must be truly worried...

they better be...

[Bombtrack]

8. They need to rile up the supporters of their dream opponent

remember the "leaked" memo about Jeb being "in trouble" in Florida, which served as nothing more than to mobilize the Florida GOP a couple months in advance.

Right now the Deanies are doing Roves work, until the nomination

10. You're funny, too!

Everyone's a comic around here.

It's great!

13. Thanks for your 8th place opinion...

Sour grapes do not make a good whine...

14. Cocktails at 6 p.m.

lol..

[HuckleB]

15. Where did you get this?

I can't find it on the Dean website.

[HuckleB]

16. Nevermind. Found it on the blog.

17. "But remember, the GOP WANTS Dean to run" *snicker*

This is priceless. Ed's visit plus the early launch of particularly nasty GOP attack ads should leave no doubt in anyone's mind that not only is the GOP out to get Dean, they are already scared to death of the whirlwind that accompanies him.

[slinkerwink]

19. good point!

[janx]

18. The Dean campaign has some very good writers.

I remember a letter to Kerry's campaign that was hilarious too. Whoever writes this stuff has a great sense of humor! That's one of the reasons I like it so much.

[slinkerwink]

20. I bet it's Mathew Gross

;-)

[JNelson6563]

21. Great stuff

:-)

[Rose Siding]

22. But Vermont is such a tiny insignificant state!

Hmmm...what's Rove telling me to think now? :silly:

[slinkerwink]

23. as the Clarkites like to say, it has a population of 600,000

so why is the RNC Chairman so afraid of an insignificant Governor from a small, rural state? Oh, it might be Clinton Redux 1992 for them all over again ;-)

[mzmolly]

24. Hee hee...

:)

[killbotfactory]

25. Republicans have no sense of irony

Here we have one of the most secretive administrations ever, and they're trying to slam Dean for sealing some of his records for four years past the usual amount.
