Re: Sunday, February 8, 2004
Joe is answering the question right now. My bad transcription... ------- I don't know what's more offensive.. the implication that I'm a thief, or the implication that I'm a really bad thief. I made about 160,o00 on the dean campaign in 2003. But that's not 7.5 or 7.2 million dollars. How do you stop this movement dead in its tracks? Make people think this is a Trippi get rich quick scheme. It's the worst, meanest thing I've seen all year. Since... whenever. First, I didn't have, for a bunch of different reasons, I had no contorl of budget and spednding. The governor put int in the hands of Bob Rogan, his chief of staff. If we had raised 45 million and I was the scheming media advisor, I would have done a much better job. We put about 7.2 million on television. Steve McMann my partner had been doing Howard Dean's media for 12 years. Whether or not I had been involve, he still would have b een the media guy. Had I been golfing for 2003 I would have gotten 160,000. I was managing the campaign for nothing. this is not about hitting me. It's about stopping people. Getting people to say "the hell with it." It's not what happened. There is normally a 15% commission. In fact it was 7%. I didn't want to know and told the governor I didn't want to know. This isn't about assigning blame. But I really think this is about getting people to buy this notion that this was some kind of get rich scheme. ---- There ya go...
