OK, Why is Kerry's Behind the Scenes stuff in the press???

Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 06:15 AM by sonicx

"angry at advisors," "adding advisors," "conversation with clinton"
"outsiders urge Kerry to fight"

I'm sorry, but a lid needs to be put on the big mouths that hang with Kerry. All this does is give the impression that they're "panicking." Do what needs to be done and keep it on the downlow...

7. Simple.

1) Reassures the chicken littles that the campaign has direction.

2) Deflects blame from Kerry to his advisors.

3) Makes Kerry look strong and in control.

So far, the campaign has done nothing that it didn't plan back in July, if not earlier, as far as I can tell. But this whole "Kerry gets tough with staff" thing gives the illusion of change, and can act as a kind of catalyst. It's a smart move. Notice there were fewer chicken little posts yesterday, for example. M.B. Cahill takes the public heat, the campaign rolls on.

9. Part of Rove's bag of tricks

It's time to demoralize the troops. Notice that the 'trolls' or posters acting like trolls are into the demoralization. Don't fall for it. They do it every election cycle. They did it to Gore.

Part of the boot on the neck.

10. I don't like seeing this either

but probably nothing to be done about it. The media LOVES back-room in-fighting and would rather report it than anything substantive. And it leaves an impression that Kerry is frantic, disorganized, not in control, which works for our Corporate masters.

And before anyone asks, yes, I've been working for almost a year on efforts to unseat the unelected fraud occupying the White House.
