The Boston Globe’s Glen Johnson reports today on a struggle between Gov. Dean and former campaign manager, Joe Trippi, over the loyalty of erstwhile members of Dean for America (yes, I know, “a beginning not an end…”).
My hope is that this struggle — if it’s real — does not get into a debate about who owns what (i.e., a tortured intellectual property debate) but rather about how to propel forward a movement without a candidate (or one which might adopt a new candidate; I know which candidate I’d recommend!).
What we’ve been tracking in class: how much has changed in campaigning as a consequence of the Howard Dean campaign’s online activities? Is it now necessary to have a digital strategy to get elected in the USA?
