Was Joe Trippi scheduled to appear on "This Week?"

[wndycty]

Or is there to comment on the Clark piece that is running right now.

[maddezmom]

1. he was on the schedule CSPAN showed this am

[Jerseycoa]

2. What did he say? nt

[wndycty]

3. Clark says Dean offered the VP slot. . .

. .Trippi denies it. Is there a little controversy around the corner? Hmmmm :dem:

[maddezmom]

4. is Trippi ruling it out? nt

[Myra]

19. Hmmm, who to believe?

This should be an interesting one.

[maddezmom]

20. easy one for me ~ Clark

:)

[OKNancy]

5. Trippi sure did put his foot in it

He said Clark wasn't offered the VP slot, " in the meeting I was in"
I have one big question. It has been THREE FREEKING months for him to come out and claim this. It's been all over the news and the blogosphere. Now three months later it is not true?
I don't believe him.

[maddezmom]

7. so is he saying Clark is a liar? I'm not sure I'm following

What is the story? Didn't he talk to Clark before Clark decided to run?

[wndycty]

9. I hope someone makes a BIG DEAL out of this. . .

. . .then Dean and Trippi will either admit that they offered Clark the VP slot or they will have to call him a liar.

15. I know there was a story in I believe the Wash Post or NYTs..

I thought I had bookmarked it. Does anyone have the bookmark?

[ibegurpard]

21. Me too

Because then all of America will see the Clark campaign making a big deal out of whether or not he was offered a VP slot to Dean. That will make them look REAL good.

[Patriot_Spear]

12. What did Clark Know and when did he Know it?

I couldn't resist that one. I thought the VP story was common knowledge. I certainly don't know what really happened.

[OKNancy]

13. He hedged

Trippi said he wasn't offered the VP..in the meeting I was in. SO, yes he is sort of calling Clark a liar. But we know the truth about who is a liar...because we know very well that it is true and so does Trippi.

6. George is pressing Trippi on who the establishment is. . .

:kick:

[Justice]

17. Pretty Interesting

I was surprised that Trippi didn't have a better answer for George. George even said - who is the establishment - is it Hillary, is it Bill - who is it.

In the end Trippi said it was Kerry, Gephardt, Edwards, Leiberman - those who voted for the IWR.

I think Trippi and Dean don't want to say who they think the establishment is - because they need ALL of the democratic party to win and don't want to alienate people by singling them out.

Trippi's comments about health care - that democrats have had this on our platform for 30 years, but Americans still don't have health care - why? Not because we weren't in power, in presidency, in congress - because there are 10 health care lobbyists for every member of congress. Interesting.

8. He was supposed to be on last week

I assume they combined to sets of guests.

[Saudade]

10. Trippi

Trippi is, to say the least, not an effective representative of the Dean campaign.

[wndycty]

11. I keep hearing everyong call him a genius

:kick:
:dem:

[Saudade]

14. Trippi

Genius?

He looks and sounds slimy.

One minute he's talking about changing the entire political system, and the next minute he's sounding exactly like Dick Cheney trying to explain why Dean won't release his Vermont records for the sake of "future Governors."

[dsc]

16. Different people have different skills

Trippi is a genius at running a campaign. I haven't seen this appearence but his previous ones haven't been too good.

[Jerseycoa]

18. I have to agree

The campaign Trippi developed for Dean is a marvel. Nobody can take that away.
