NEVER TOO EARLY TO PANIC:
Kerry Shakes Up Campaign Staff (CBS News, Nov. 10, 2003)
Democratic candidate John Kerry fired his campaign manager Sunday night in an attempt shake up his beleaguered presidential bid.Jim Jordan was ousted by the Massachusetts senator and his campaign chair, Jeanne Shaheen, the former governor of New Hampshire, and replaced by longtime Democratic operative Mary Beth Cahill.
Sources said that Jordan was told by Kerry the reason he was dismissed was because changes were needed in the campaign.
The problem seems to be the candidate, rather than the staff. Ask yourself this: what is the point of the Kerry campaign? What is it he wants to do for the country? ? ? ? Posted by Orrin Judd at November 10, 2003 1:57 PM
Other than his wife's money, I always wondered why Mr. Ketchup was ever considered a top tier candidate. If your name isn't Adams or Kennedy, being a Mass. politician is hardly a stepping stone to the Presidency. And it isn't as though anyone could name any piece of legislation--or even an issue--he's noted for (what exactly has he been doing in Congress all these years?).

You're just upset that a former governor is now free to come back and haunt you.
AOG - Kerry was the lt. governor of Mass (under Dukakis) before becoming Senator.

Posted by: pj at November 10, 2003 4:54 PMYeah, sorry, I misread it as "replacing" instead of "replaced by" for Shaheen.I guess New Hampshire is safe until later in the primaries.
