The federal Greens are looking southward for political advice, Public Eye has learned. On August 23 and 24, Joe Trippi, who managed Howard Dean's headlining but ultimately failed bid to win the Democrat presidential nomination in 2004, will be putting on a political strategy workshop for senior Greens. The event is being organized by outgoing party leader Jim Harris. Mr. Trippi is also the author of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - a book about "how how to engage Americans in real dialogue, how business leaders, government leaders, and anyone else can make use of the most revolutionary idea to come along since man first learned to light a fire. No...not the Internet. Or computers. Or telecommunications. Democracy."
But wasnt Howard Dean's campaign a disaster?
Now that the party is funded by the taxpayers, Green Party's leadersihp is a covetted seat that many will seek. The party will have a new leader next month as the members decide between the deputy-leader-who David and treehugger grandma Elizabeth. Will Joe who got the global-warming's-NOT-a-myth "president" Gore to back Howard Dean save David from the landslide victory Elizabeth is expecting? Well, I certainly hope so. But either way, maybe we will finally see some interesting nomination races Green Party will have coming up pitting hippies and pseudo-environmentalist?
