Reply #2: Gep's "murder-suicide" attempt is over, and Dean will do well.

[papau]

From ABC News Dean campaign reporter Reena Singh: Trippi explained tonight's third place finish as a 'murder-suicide' and 'classic politics 101.'"
"Gephardt decided that he had to beat us at all costs and killed himself and damaged us pretty badly. He ran negative ads on us week after week and made it a two man race and then these two guys who weren't in it came up and practically stole our message. I mean if you closed your eyes and listened to them tonight, it's Howard Dean. One mistake we made was getting in front of Gephardt. But you can't control that."
