The Ghost of Howard Dean

May 30, 2013

Don’t Miss This:

Here’s the latest Sunshine State News post on Florida Congressional candidate Gwen Graham.

Looks like Gwen’s past of being a Howard Dean Democrat and the fact that she brought on Liberal Democrat strategist Joe Trippi to run her campaign is going to haunt her in her efforts to pretend to be a moderate running for Congress.

Wonder how long until Joe Trippi gets Howard Dean to endorse his former Presidential Southern Regional Advisor for Congress?

In case you missed it…

Gwen Graham Gets Some National Attention, Including Bringing in Joe Trippi
Sunshine State News

Gwen Graham, the daughter of Florida political legend Bob Graham who served as governor and U.S. senator, is getting some national attention as she seeks the Democratic nomination to topple Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland. As the subject of an interview in Roll Call, Gwen Graham weighs in on her father, a possible primary fight with former state Senate Democratic Leader Al Lawson, and the role of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

One thing to keep an eye on: The Roll Call article shows prominent Democratic strategist Joe Trippi has ties to Gwen Graham’s campaign. It’s an indicator that the stakes are high in this race. But Republicans could have an opportunity here. Gwen Graham is trying to present herself as a moderate but Trippi is best known for being the guru of stalwart liberal Howard Dean’s presidential campaign — not exactly a natural fit for this North Florida district.
