Clinton adviser: Kerry ran inconsistent campaign
Associated Press ^ | March 17, 2005 | Marc Humbert

A top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks fellow Democrat John Kerry "ran what was basically an inconsistent campaign" for president last year, according to a published report Thursday. Clinton and Kerry are considered potential rivals for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. The Kerry campaign had "a different message every two or three weeks," Ann Lewis, director of communications for Clinton's political action committee, told the Forward, a weekly New York City-based newspaper aimed at a Jewish audience. Lewis is quoted as saying the Kerry campaign "kept trying to rationally convince, to put a presidency together, line by line, plan by plan."

As much as I disagree with Ann Lewis I hope the dems dont listen to her. She's pretty good at what she does. I think she was the campaign chairperson of clinton's 96 campaign. NOt sure about that.

Ann Lewis is strictly third-string when it comes to Democratic spin.

When you see her on a show, you know one thing: whoever they wanted to book couldn't make it, nor could the fallback. Which led them to her.

The campaign began to unravel when the NASA pic made its round. It was official when Kerry showed up a campaign stop painted friggin' orange. And then wheels came off..

Also, they still cannot just admit their irrelevancy to America -- and their radical Socialism -- they just cannot accept that America did not want that either, regardless of what a complete lying, fool of a buffoon Kerry is.

The point is - during the Kerry campaign - Ann Lewis was the most horrible person. She would come on the talk shows and spew the most god-awful junk about the President and how much Kerry was this and Kerry was that .. and Bush didn't know what he was doing .. blah blah blah. She was the typical arrogant elitist snob of a person - pitiful!

NOW .. she says he was running an inconsistent campaign. Who can believe ANYTHING THESE PEOPLE SAY - EVER AGAIN.

Kerry did not run an inconsistent campaign.He stood for nothing but globalism, had no solutions to anything, and was beaten by a man with a real world vision and the right approach for our time, both domestically and internationally.

The only reason the election was this "close", was because Bush was beaten by kerry in the meaningless game of debates.
The MSM knew that Kerry is a smoother talker than Bush and thus attached too much importance to them, as they always do.
