Dean Fires Trippi
This is a huge deal for those following the Dean campaign. The Dean campaign was almost more about Trippi than it was about Dean.Evidently Dean wants to bring in Gore's old campaign manager. Trippi chose to resign in response. It's unclear whether this means resigning from the entire campaign.
As for next week, I think the things to watch for are if Dean wins New Mexico, or if he finishes ahead of Kerry in South Carolina. If neither happens, I think he's out of it.
