Kerry’s inner circle expands or Tell me what to say, Please!!!

I remember when Bush was surrounding himself with smart people like Condi Rice, Colon Powell… various cabinet member and I think Bush himself said that he was surrounding himself with people smarter than himself as a means to make better decisions. The Dems said he was too dumb to think for himself. The story line above concerns Kerry surrounding himself with consultants to tell him what to say and when. According to the article:

“The campaign now includes 37 separate domestic policy councils and 27 foreign policy groups, each with scores of members. The justice policy task force alone includes 195 members. The environmental group is roughly the same size, as is the agriculture and rural development council. Kerry counts more than 200 economists as his advisers.”

Basically this guy has surrounded himself with special interest groups to guide his political views. No wonder he appears to be waffling on every subject. He is being jerked in which direction. He's a walkin toy boy.

The story goes on to contrast the Bush campaign:

“In contrast, President Bush campaign policy shop is a no-frills affair. Policy director Tim Adams directs about a dozen experts who make sure the campaign is in sync with the vast executive branch that is formulating policy. Adams's group also analyzes Kerry's proposals and voting record. Fewer than a dozen outside task forces, with five to 10 members, also help out on education, veterans' issues, the economy, and energy, environment and natural resources, said campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel.”

Here again, surround yourself with the best and smartest, keep the quantity down and the quality up.
