Joe Trippi is out as Howard Dean's campaign manager. Roy Neel is in as CEO. "CEO?" Hasn't Dean been running a sort of "anti-CEO" campaign?

Anyway, Jeff Jarvis writes:

Here's another theory about what happened to Dean: Maybe the campaign became the star instead of the candidate. (And when people finally did see the candidate, they didn't like what they saw.)

That's probably close to being on the mark. But it was Dean, not Trippi, who made the campaign the star. (Remember, when Dean was deciding whether or not to take federal matching funds, he wouldn't even make a decision until he put the issue up for a vote among his supporters over the Web.)
