Joe Trippi sighting

I know quite a few people who thought Joe Trippi was one of the big reasons for Howard Dean's rise (and fall) in the Democratic primaries last year. So we'll get to see if he's learned his lesson as he attempts to guide former national NAACP head Kweisi Mfume to the Maryland Senate seat currently held by the retiring Paul Sarbanes.

Maybe this is old news for some, but it's the first mention I've seen of Trippi in quite awhile. And it looks like this campaign may be an uphill battle, financially, at least, as current U.S. Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin has announced a $900,000 third quarter to Mfume's $100,000.

But with Trippi involved, it should be an interesting primary to watch.

*UPDATE* It appears, at least according to Trippi's own blog, that he is only volunteering his time. At least for now
