Who's in charge of the Kerry campaign?
By Scot Lehigh, Globe Columnist | September 8, 2004

JOHN KERRY has recently drafted some top Democratic talent into his campaign -- and it's about time. John Sasso, one of the party's best strategic thinkers, has joined the nominee on the plane, and there has been an infusion of former Clinton aides and advisers into the headquarters.

That's the good news for Democrats. But here's the bad news. Right now, well-placed sources say, it's not completely clear who is in charge.

"It is fairly chaotic over there," says one Democratic source. "Nobody has total control, and that is very dangerous."

Not so, insists Sasso. "Whatever the outcome of this campaign, Mary Beth Cahill rescued the campaign in the fall, she led it successfully through the primaries, and she remains fully and steadily in charge as we head into the showdown finale," he says.

Others, however, paint a somewhat different picture.<snip>

1. Anonymous sources again

I wish these people would shut up, frankly, and focus on taking down Bush rather than Kerry.

2. It's a tight ship, Mary Beth Cahill set a steady course
as Sasso's comments make plain.
The importance of complete loyalty was made clear last year.
