Product Description
When Joe Trippi signed on to manage Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, the long-shot candidate had 432 known supporters and $100,000 in the bank. Within a year the most obscure horse in the field was the front-runner, with $50 million in the campaign till, thanks to Trippi and his team. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is the incredible story of how Joe Trippi's revolutionary use of the Internet forever changed politics as we know it. Trippi's memoir cum manifesto offers a blueprint for engaging Americans in real dialogue—and is an instruction manual for how businesspeople, government leaders, and anyone else can make use of democracy. In a new afterword, Trippi reviews how these lessons have influenced the 2008 campaign, a race marked by higher voter interest than any other in recent history.

Customer Reviews & Comments
The first edition of this book put the building of the 2003-2004 online revolution into an understandable context. A dozen lifetimes and generations later, we find ourselves leaving 2008 with a world turned upside down by online power. This new edition of Joe Trippi's absorbing book sets out not only what has happened, what is happening but, most importantly, what will happen, particularly when change is driven from the bottom up and not imposed from the top down. This is a must read, vitally important book for not just activists but for everyone who wants to make a lasting, positive difference. We have the tools: Joe Trippi shows us how they can be effectively used.
