I'm sure there was infighting in his campaign right out of the gate, as we learned in Newsweek's special report. We also learn that Kerry was basically running things.
It seems to me, that Kerry, himself failed to heed their advice coming out strongly and wrongly on the Iraq and terrorist issues in the waning moments of the campaign. I think if he had stayed true to the domestic issues it would have been a close election.
It was presumably Kerry, not his advisors, who insisted on bringing up the lost cache of weapons in Iraq, and other so-called Iraq war blunders just days before the election.
Another stupic article in my opinion that misses the mark. Was it Carville and company the ones who insisted he not do any press conferences, go on The Factor, etc. ?

These thick-headed wonks miss the point that it's always about the candidate, not the campaign.
disagree. Kerry had no choice but switch the focus from domestic issues to the war, as the "always reliable polls" were saying that americans were more worried about it.
