Joe Trippi (born 1956), a political consultant affiliated with the Democratic Party, is best known as campaign manager of Howard Dean's campaign for the U.S. presidential election, 2004.

JOE TRIPPI'S BLIND SPOT: My colleague Jonathan Cohn has written compellingly about the Dean campaign's emphasis on process rather than substance and message--one of the main reasons for Dean's relatively poor showing in Iowa.
Trippi's formative political experiences came in the early 1990s: In 1990, he worked for a candidate who lost a close U.S. Senate race in Oregon after being outspent by something like ten to one (though don't hold me to the numbers).
The lesson Trippi took away from both experiences was that there are only two possible roles a candidate can play in a race: He can be on the side that wants to do the bidding of powerful, moneyed interests, or he can be on the side that wants to give power back to the people.

Joe Trippi doesn't look like a buttoned-down political operative, a label that probably would make him cringe and his staff of eager young campaign novices laugh.
Trippi is careful not to claim to be the first to inject the Internet into politics, noting that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), another insurgent, raised millions via the Web in his failed 2000 bid.

 "Power Trippi" by Ezra Klein
Trippi, of course, didn't create Dean's devoted army; central to the story of the Dean campaign was the manner in which the candidate's army of volunteers, bloggers, and donors created itself.
Trippi argues that it was old-fashioned dirty politics--old speeches ripped out of context, a press whose benign tolerance of the entertaining insurgent had given way to hyper-intense scrutiny of the little-known frontrunner, and a flurry of negative ads unleashed by Dean's rivals for the nomination--that felled his unconventional campaign.
Trippi himself admits that Kate O'Connor and Dean eventually wanted to fire him because "[I]n their eyes, Dean had been swept up in the momentum of his own populist movement...was unable to leave the insurgent firebrand behind and reposition himself as just another moderate Democrat"--an inability which proved fatal.
