The Kerry campaign has a lot of talented people, including Bob Shrum. But the difference that pops out at you when you look at both campaigns is that the Bush campaign has a final authority, and that’s Karl Rove. Now, there are other important advisers around Bush—political advisers; Mark McKinnon, who handles the media; Karen Hughes, who travels with Bush; Matthew Dowd, who is called chief strategist. Karl Rove is the boss, and he has a meeting every weekend at his home with these people. He signs off on everything. But in the Kerry campaign it’s much more of a committee.

this is highly predicative of how a kerry administration would be run...

by committee, without strong leadership...

and is why i believe he will not be elected

Robert Shrum, John Kerry’s senior adviser, and whether he’s up to the job of taking on Bush.

Isn't Schrum something like 0 for 7 in major campaigns? Makes you wonder why Democrats keep hiring this guy.
