Dean's Next Frontier: The Conference Call

[ProudToBeLiberal]

...

His campaign announced last week that it will try to break the world record for the largest-ever conference call. That record, according to the good people at the Guinness Book of World Records, was set in September 2000, when 3,310 people rang into a call hosted by the British teen-pop group S Club 7.

Dean will host his call Sept. 29 -- the day before the deadline for reporting third-quarter fundraising totals -- when he will chat with supporters attending house parties for the candidate across the country. Campaign manager Joe Trippi declined to estimate how many people might join the call. But he promised to shatter the world record.

2. The man is simply a brilliant campaigner.

His campaign is already one for the record books.

3. He and Trippi are quite a pair

The cool thing is that they are clever and humble enough to adopt ideas from anywhere they find them. I wonder if this one came from the blog?
