In this book Trippi tells the story of the Howard Dean campaign 2004. Even though the campaign itself was not successful, it was very important and felt rather like a fresh start for the way campaigns can be done with the help of the internet. Dean was after all a candidat without money and the internet helped him through grassroot support to a unforseen publicity. Trippi claims that it once again empowers the people to participate activly in the political process, after so many years of television had reduced them to manipulable couch potatoes. Also the Youth is participating once again. Howard Deans campaign can be seen as the unsucessful prototype of more successful Obama campaign 2008.

Work 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.
