I had heard that this would be coming, but now it's official. Via Kuff and Quorum Report.
The rest of the campaign team announced today in QR:
Media/Research Operative - Jason Stanford.
Fundraising - Heidi Kirkpatrick
Internet - Joe Trippi
General Consultant - Bob Doyle

Mail - Duane Baughman
I'm looking forward to hearing Chris Bell again at our Young Democrats convention fundraiser on April 15th.

Why doesn't Chris Bell run against Tom DeLay? He went after him in the Ethics Committee. I think that would make for a great race. And quite frankly, the guy served on the Houston City Council and had one term in Congress. This hardly makes him a seasoned politician capable of running against Rick Perry or KBH. Unless he just wants to do it for fun with the total expectation of losing.
Trippi is a good thing but this isn't the 1st time I've heard people wonder if he shouldn't be running against Delay.
It isn't such a bad question however Richard is still tha man & worth supporting.
Having Joe Trippi on the team is a very good thing. I've been reading Trippi's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." He knows what he's doing. The real question isn't whether Bell can beat Perry, it's whether the Republican primary will get ugly, with Perry, Hutchison, and Strayhorn beating each other to death in the press. That sort of thing could swing the race in Bell's favor.
awesome news about trippi joining the bell campaign.
1) How vulnerable is Delay? Helms always had close polls but he was so polarizing that they never moved.
2) Trippi is extremely talented. Have heard people who work for him swear they would stand in front of a train for him and others who said he is a micromanaging jerk. Opinions?
