In the last hour, CNN has been reporting something about a "Kerry Campaign shake-up", the gist of it being that some outsiders are complaining that the Kerry campaign isn't fighting back hard enough, isn't responding fast enough to the Republican attacks, blahblahblah. Supposedly the Kerry camp is shuffling responsibilities, firing, hiring, although they deny anything of the sort is going on.

I was expressing frustration last night to someone that both Gore and Kerry had/have female campaign managers and I tend to doubt that they (the females) have enough "teeth" or kick-ass mentality to fully engage in a knock-down drag-out fight for the presidency, which seems to be called for, at least in this election. I was thinking Clinton's guy, James Carville might be in order. Kerry's manager, Mary Beth Cahill does not seem to be in a fighting mood.

[Knee-jerk politically-correct responders, engage your best misogynist references here.]

Be it female campaign managers or whatever, what do you think? Doesn't it seem that Kerry is wimping out, or will he, as I've heard over and over, come out fighting at the last hour to seal the deal?

I think it is more that the Swift Ads are having an affect on his campaign. Someone probably told him not to worry about it that it would blow over quickly. Instead it's picked up steam.
