Howard Dean's 2004 campaign manager Joe Trippi has signed onto John Edwards' presidential campaign:

I really thought that the 2004 presidential campaign would be the last I would be involved in. I have always wanted to make a difference, but for me I thought those days were over.

A few weeks ago, John and Elizabeth Edwards made their decision to continue, not just John Edwards' campaign for President, but their work together to make a difference for their country.

And that made me realize that I wasn't done trying to make a difference either. Not by a long shot. So today I am joining the John Edwards campaign.

Good move by John Edwards. I like Joe Trippi a lot and think he will be an asset to the campaign, particularly with respect to netroots support.

    As a huge Dean supporter in 04, I didn't see much about Trippi that helped.  When Dean was tanking and he needed to make changes and moved Trippi, Trippi quit and had a huge GCW on the radio complete with tears.  Lots of Dean supporters are not in Trippi's camp and even hold him at least partially responsible for Dean's loss.
