Joe Trippi shows his desperation
"If the crowd numbers are that huge, and ours are this small, and they're going to kick our ass then there's no reason to explain it. Just show up and kick our ass. It's better if you don't say anything about it. Anytime anybody starts throwing those kinds of things around, it's because they're in deep shit."

-- Edwards strategist Joe Trippi, quoted by The Nation, suggesting Sen. Barack Obama's campaign is in trouble.

2. Looks like it's time for Trippi's quadrennial meltdown.
Watch for him to ditch Edwards soon.

6. Ahhh...I see you have a good memory. My mind flipped back 4yrs in an instant too.
It's a painful recollection.

3. If I were Edwards I would tell Trippi to shut his yap.
I am a big Edwards supporter but there is no reason to throw gas on the fire.

4. Same Joe Trippi who said this?
that opting for the limits of public financing would leave any nominee “flat broke like Mike Dukakis — getting the living shit kicked out of him all summer long.”

5. There may not be a more overused word this campaign season than "desperation"
and its variants.
