Former Howard Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi told Reuters that they "couldn't figure out how to tell people we had a problem without raising the wrong impression. Part of the problem is that the press are reading our blogs (Internet journals)." Trippi also suggested that the campaign's openness signalled its moves to its opponents and its decentralization fragmented its message.
Trippi continued to encourage Internet activism as the best fund-raising and voter-inspiring tool for the Democrats come November. Source: Yahoo! News - How Web Support Failed Dean in Crunch: Ex-Manager
