Trippi: "The Clinton status quo is going to be rejected"
I just spoke with Joe Trippi, an advisor to the Edwards campaign. I asked him about the expected Barack Obama win tonight and what that might mean for John Edwards.
"Tonight is a referendum on Hillary Clinton," Trippi said. Media attention and voters seem to be focused on two story-lines, he said. The first is whether Obama will continue his successes and the second is whether Clinton can make a come back.
"We don't think she can," Trippi said. "The Clinton status quo is going to be rejected."
He said that Edwards campaign was "getting lost" in those two other discussions.
That will change when the campaigns roll into South Carolina and Nevada.
"We don't think Hillary Clinton can come back, so let's get onto the real discussion about change," Trippi said.
The objective for the Edwards campaign will be delineate the different approaches to achieving change in Washington.
