Former Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi has started a blog; so has former Dean director of Internet Communications Mathew Gross. Check 'em out. (via Talking Points Memo.)
ADDENDUM: Something just occurred to me. Dean's former aides' profiles are getting higher. (Might this point to a Dean withdrawal after tomorrow's Wisconsin primary? Dean's national chairman Steve Grossman (chair of Kerry's '96 Senate bid) told the New York Times that he'll "reach out" to Kerry if Dean doesn't win Wisconsin. Sounds like pretty damning talk to me. That last factoid was courtesy of CNN, which goes on to report that a concession speech is being drafted in Burlington. It should be noted that Dean himself is denying all of the above...but go read the CNN story. It has lots of useful info and analysis.
ANOTHER ADDENDUM: Agence France-Presse is running with the (possible) Dean-withdrawal story now.
YET ANOTHER ADDENDUM: Grossman is out after his comments to the NYT. This story has legs, is moving fast, and will undoubtedly be very interesting over the next 48 hours or so. (Unfortunately, I won't have the luxury of following it today.)
