Trippi's Supposed Conflict Of Interest
The CJR Campaign Desk has an article wondering aloud why more wasn't made out of Trippi earning a commission on the Dean ads bought from his advertising firm.I think it's probably because it would be pretty ridiculous to make the case that Trippi's chief goal in the campaign was to make money off of advertising. Like all the traveling, cracked ribs, strategizing, and cheerleading was just him going through the motions to land his ad buys. Right.
