THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Divide in Democrat's camp
Party advisors' discussion on how to forge a 'new direction' for the candidate leads to mixed messages and lost momentum.

NEW YORK — Even as he fights to regain momentum in the presidential race, Sen. John F. Kerry faces a debate among advisors over the tone and content of his message, according to insiders and other Democrats familiar with the campaign's discussions.

One continued disagreement is over how sharply the Democratic presidential nominee — as opposed to campaign surrogates — should attack President Bush. Also in dispute is how much change would be too much for Kerry to advocate in these anxious times.

In one compromise, Kerry has taken to using words "new direction" rather than "change."

[...]

But those close to Kerry's campaign acknowledge that both its internal operations and the candidate are not as focused and disciplined as Bush's reelection team, which hammers relentlessly at its message that the Democrat flip-flops, lacks principles and is weak on national security issues.

"Kerry has gotten more aggressive. But the attack is never the same twice — it changes event by event," said one party strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The point is they're still having meetings to discuss this. The Bush people have known for six months how they're going to do it, and they've done it every day since then."

For his part, Kerry has a tendency to swing at whatever is thrown his way. That is why the arrival of veteran political operative John Sasso, who began traveling at Kerry's side last week, was greeted with relief by aides. They hope Sasso can keep the senator "on message," as one put it...
:eek2:
 
Haha the fact that John Kerry is still advertising his New Direction is kinda funny since its rather perverted lol Would have thought he'd pick up on it months ago.
