DIG SPACE: Maybe now Joe Trippi...

now that he's got some free time, can figure out if he actually still owns WAVX. I'm sorta thinkin maybe he dumped it but didn't have the heart to rain on the Wavoids' parade (such as it is). On the other hand, it's possible he thought it might damage his candidate's credibility if he was linked even indirectly to the cult.

You do have to give Joe credit for raising Howard Dean out of oblivion to national stature, though. No denying he did a heck of a job with the material at hand. Of course, he made some strategic blunders (like excluding Mrs. Dr. Dean from the road show on the idiotic premise that her private medical practice was more important than being at her husband's side).

And now they're saying the money-raising machine everybody touted is practically broke. Which makes me wonder if Trippi was tapping the WAVE brain trust for financial advice! Sounds an awful lot like that plant-all-the-flags-you-can-and-defend-every-one-of-them strategy that allowed WAVE to blow through 120 million in three years, doesn't it?
