A story about Kerry getting campaign advice from Clinton was in the Wa Post. Logic tells you a leak must have been made to the Post - otherwise how would they know about what was discussed in a private phone call? Here's a liberal blog discussing it: WaPo Pg. 1: Clinton Urges Kerry To Sharpen His Attackby bassjhs Mon Sep 6th, 2004 at 07:43:52 GMT from my blog, Basie! Very interesting article on the front page of this morning's edition of The Washington Post on a recent call between Bill Clinton and John Kerry--it really provides insight into the campaign and is furthermore interesting. Per Lois Romano and Dan Balz, the former President gave the current Democratic standard bearer a wide range of advice on how to run a winning campaign. Kerry spoke with Clinton, who is at a New York hospital awaiting heart surgery, on Friday and Saturday. Clinton added his voice to that of other Democrats who were urging Kerry to change his message and strategy in response to gains Bush made during August and at his party's New York convention last week. Clinton, according to those familiar with the conversation, urged Kerry to draw a sharper contrast with Bush and to explain to voters the effect of going to war in Iraq on domestic policies. "He always felt that you've got to give people a reason to vote for you and give people a choice," said one Democratic strategist. "He believes that at the end of the day that if you do make it an effective choice for the voters, they'll figure it out. But the burden's on the candidate to make the case." Diaries :: bassjhs's diary :: Romano and Balz link the conversation to a number of changes in the Kerry campaign that imply an increased association with Clintonistas. * "Former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart and presidential assistant Joel Johnson formally joined the campaign last week to strengthen communications and rapid response operations." * "Doug Sosnik, former White House political director was brought in as a senior strategist." * "Former Clinton adviser Paul Begala, who has been offering regular advice, may play a stepped-up role, but a Kerry campaign official said that Begala has no formal role. "James Carville, who was Clinton's top strategist in 1992, has been urging the campaign to give Begala a more significant role, and a campaign official said Carville will continue as an outside adviser." * "In a previously reported move, Howard Wolfson, a former top aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton and former executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, will join the DNC as senior adviser for communications." .... michael-d.dailykos.com
