Longtime Democratic insider Tony Coelho lashed out at the John Kerry presidential campaign, characterizing it as a campaign in chaos. With yet another appointment of a former Clinton administration staffer to Kerry’s team on Tuesday, Coelho argues the problem is worsening.

CBS will be making a comment about the memos today.... anyone hear about this?

The word is they are standing pat. Brent Bozell said on Bennett's radio show today that CBS says they have more experts--but this time they aren't giving out the names.

(Like that's gonna work.)

You tell it, Coop: Stay the course, stay focused, and spread the word!

BTW, Pat Tillman WAS a true hero and a role model. I'm grateful to people like him, and I honor his service and sacrifice.

Someone years ago told me: When a company gets in trouble (financially), they lay off productive workers and hire more 'bean counters'/accountants.

Over the years I have noticed that that tends to be true.

Similarly, when a political campaign gets in trouble (lowering polls), they tend to hire more analysts/advisers/consultants.

Regardless of that, Kerry's problem is that two camps are within his campaign: the extremist/leftist camp and the moderate camp. Kerry can't placate one side without alienating the other camp.

To get the nomination, Kerry leaned toward the extremist/leftist camp; now, he is trying to go toward the moderate side. The two camps' positions are vastly different. Thus, the quintessential politician, John Kerry, flipflops between each of the camps.

John's quandary: he will have to select a side and stick with it, alienating the other side; but he will have to do it soon. If he continues to flipflop, he loses the Independents who are watching from the sidelines.

Landslide, anyone?

Maybe but there have been more brainwashed boobs graduated from our schools since Reagan ran in 84

20 years of more dumbing down

Assuming the accuracy of this report as my preface, if a known crook like Cuello denounces the Kerry campaign's as one of chaos, the fat lady is nearing her finale.

And, no, I shall not stop my role in supporting GWB to the inth degree in some self-confident anticipatory mockery of the foul JFKerry as a loser.

And if the hard left commie wackos perceive him as a lost cause because of the polls they may stay home or where possible vote for Nader

I do find it strange that it is mostly the uneducated are democrats. The educated democrats pass out the Kool-aid...

Oh, but no! If they want your cows dead, adios!

well put... :) The picture that is worth a thousand words...

One point that has received little attention is the fact that we are seeing a Teddy/Hillary battle going on within the Kerry campaign. After Kerry's problems before the Dean meltdown, the campaign brought in the TeddyKennedy mafia (Cahill, Meehan, etc.). Now, he's brought in the Clintonites, without firing Teddy's gang, and the top spots are now double-filled. One can only imagine the infighting and chaos!

This story is being reported buy CB_iaS. Are there any reputable news organizations reporting this?

As long as the dumbocrats have shipwreck nutsacks like Cornel West (Hannity & Colmes last night) making appearances ranting, raving, and babbling incoherently -- we'll take this election quite handily.

Keep up the good work, lefties!

“What is it that we [Democrats] are? If you go to Kerry, that’s a disaster because the candidate should not be involved in solving disputes or the creation of his message.

“It also starts to impact in regard to the whole image of leadership. If someone can’t control a message in a presidential campaign, how are you going to be a good president?”

This is so rich. The first quote came about a third of the way through the article, then the second concluded the article. It seems that Democrats must have it both ways, all the time.

I have a lib aquaintance who told me yesterday that he isn't going to vote for either Bush or Kerry. "Kerry is a loser".

[dubie]

My father-in-law who always voted democrat (brain washed by his neighbors) told us he is voting for bush this year because in his own words "Kerry is too wishy washy".

[Don Simmons]

No vote at all is a vote for Bush - at least in that case.
