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.

I think this fact is well known. But dems are a little slow on the uptake...

[RockinRight]

Landslide, anyone?

[TomServo]

Crosslinking.

Shrum's "bright" idea is to be Mr. Populist, bashing corporations even though most voters now own stock.

No, the problem is getting better and better.

It's a bit early to be talking like that. If/when Kerry closes the gap a bit, you'll see the media trumpeting the comeback kid, you'll see re-energized Dems, and you'll see multitudes of handwringers appearing once again on our beloved forum.

Stay the course, stay focused, and spread the word!

[Buck W.]

Yup. Now, focus on 60 in the Senate.

Do we have independent confirmation of this? I don't trust CBS to report where the sun will rise anymore.

"I think this fact is well known. But dems are a little slow on the uptake..."


Since the Clintons have taken over the road show, maybe that is the intent....

[San Jacinto]

This is from CBS.

How do we know it was really Tony Coello?

"Do we have independent confirmation of this? I don't trust CBS to report where the sun will rise anymore."

I am two blocks from CBS. I have to look every now and then to make sure the building is still standing. Not that anyone will notice.

[Kenton]

Well, this sounds plausible, I just wish it had come from a reliable source instead of See BS. They have forsaken any claim to credibility they may have had.

[MistyCA]

LOL. What a joke. The dumbest thing Kerry ever did was get involved with the Clinton crew. He was doing bad enough on his own.

The front page of cbsnews.com also has more on the memos. The story makes me sick... The medeia is really saturated. I saw on fox news this morning (Fox and Friends) that CBS will be making a comment about the memos today.... anyone hear about this?

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

No kidding. Was this a report on what Coelho said in front of a camera, or is CBS reporting on a letter (i.e. "document") he is alledged to have written to someone else.

[tomnbeverly]

Fox said CBS will release an email at noon... I am busy freeping CBS at the fax number that was on the memos... I don't care if they just toss the faxes... I am wasting their paper hahahaha.

[tje]

I think you're correct. I don't think there could be a more inept campaign than kerry's.

[dubie]

Yeah, the Clinton's don't want Kerry in there anyway... "Hillary 2008"

[KellyAdmirer]

No, Tony, don't you understand? Everything that the Clintons touch is gold. The ground they walk on is always strewn with rose petals. They breath only the most purified air. How dare you imply that anything about Their Majesties might possibly be less than perfect. You Commoner!
