And The Fire Of Liberty Is Burning Down Your House

Nigeria has about ten times as many cell phone exchanges as it does landlines, and so Trippi worked with the campaign team to design a text message campaign. “The torch of democracy rests in your hands” [bold mine-DL] was one of their slogans. ~Marc Ambinder

That sounds painful. 

If Edwards is supposed to be damaged by Trippi’s former association with Abubakar?  Somehow I don’t see that sort of argument working out very well for Hillary Clinton’s campaign consultant.  That would be Mark Penn of the “Vote for Begin”/shill for corporations school of consultants.
