Who's in Charge of the Kerry Campaign?
Democrats are asking who
is in charge of the Kerry campaign, saying it is chaotic and careening
down fast. They go on and on blaming Kerry's plummeting polls on someone named
Shrum, and a fight with new people who worked for
Clinton.They say that Kerry needs a
strong leader to take charge of the campaign and get things going.
Well duh. Isn't that Kerry's job? Isn't he the
one who wants to be the leader of the free world? How can he possibly be an
effective president, leading all of us whether we like him or not if he can't
control, inspire and lead a small campaign
staff?
This is a fundamental
characteristic of the way democrats think. To them, and to some disgusting
republicans in name only like Mary Matalin, elections aren't about ideas it's
about a way to keep political consultants employed. The candidate isn't the
leader, he's the product that they're selling.
In fact this explains why people
support pathetic candidates like Kerry. He's not important. What he says or
does or intends to do is irrelevent. It only matters that he's the product
these consultants are selling. To them, they should be just as able to sell a
wino off the street as they are Kerry or anyone else. Failure to get their guy
elected has nothing to do with his philosophy or his character and only to do
with poor "leadership" on the campaign
staff.
I'm sorry, but this doesn't
wash. Campaign staffs are just staffs. They aren't the ultimate leader. They
must be led by the candidate himself, or else why don't we just elect the
consultant?
