CHAOS! At McCain-For-Prez HQ
It’s a massive FIRING. It’s a collassal “shakeup“. The numero UNO pick for the Republican Party for the presidency is apparently, not happy at ALL with his current campaign staff and he’s passed the proverbial “torch” off to potential FELON and Republican “God-Duh“, Karl Rove, to come up with a solution to the fact Señor John Sidney McCain has promised his presidency would lead to a “Long, Tough Road” in Iraq and many other places in between here and there…
From The New York Times:
McCain Orders Shake-Up of His Campaign
By ADAM NAGOURNEY
WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign has gone through its second shake-up in a year. Responding to Republican concerns that his candidacy was faltering, Mr. McCain put a veteran of President Bush’s 2004 campaign in charge of day-to-day operations and stepped away from a plan to have the campaign run by 11 regional managers, Mr. McCain’s aides said Wednesday.
The installation of Steve Schmidt, who worked closely with Karl Rove, at Mr. McCain’s headquarters represented a sharp diminishment of the responsibilities of Rick Davis, who has been Mr. McCain’s campaign manager since the last shake-up nearly a year ago.
The shift was approved by Mr. McCain after several of his aides, including Mr. Schmidt, went to him about 10 days ago and warned him that he was in danger of losing the presidential election to Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, unless he revamped his campaign operation, two officials close to the campaign said.
Mr. Schmidt’s elevation is the latest sign of increasing influence of veterans of Mr. Rove’s shop in the McCain operation. Nicolle Wallace, who was communications director for Mr. Bush in the 2004 campaign (and in his White House) has joined the campaign as a senior adviser, and will travel with Mr. McCain every other week. Greg Jenkins, another veteran of Mr. Rove’s operation who is a former Fox News producer and director of the presidential advance team in the Bush White House, was hired by Mr. Schmidt last week after a series of what Mr. McCain’s advisers acknowledged were poorly executed campaign events.
Mr. Rove, who was Mr. Bush’s senior political adviser until he left the White House last year, was said by Mr. McCain’s advisers to have offered advice in recent days to Mr. Schmidt and others on how to get Mr. McCain’s campaign on track, but has stayed mostly on the periphery. Mr. Rove is aware, his associates said, that his own legacy could be helped should Mr. McCain succeed in winning the presidency. …”
While I am not yet ready to advocate a vote for “Barry O-Bomber”, I’m FULLY ready to point out the FACT that a vote for Panama John IS, INDEED, a vote for another four years of President Bush. So, it appears. Be your OWN judge…
