40. Remember

Aug 2012

early on, John Kerry's campaign manager was Jim Jordan. However, Jordan was replaced by Mary Beth Cahill. Kerry also hired Bob Shrum as a campaign consultant. Cahill and Shrum were known for disagreeing on how the campaign should be run.

I somehow recall Cahill as supposed to be a superstar who couldn't get it done, sent over from Ted Kennedy Senatorial campaign staff. (Googled and came up with her name.)

Yes, Warren is wise to pull back and get to the bottom of things, and STOP DIGGING, as you said.
