Joe Trippi on Why ‘Moneyball’ is More Like the Howard Dean Campaign Than ‘The Ides of March’
Last week, Joe Trippi Tweeted that he felt the Brad Pitt baseball movie ‘Moneyball’ was a better representation of Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign than this coming weekend’s new release ‘The Ides of March.’ It was an interesting observation for a couple of reasons: Trippi was Dean’s campaign manager during the former Vermont governor’s failed election run in 2004 and — more important — ‘The Ides of March’ was partially inspired by the Dean campaign.
