He was doing poorly before that - and he got rid of Jim Jordan, who fought with Kerry's wife and brother on how to run a campaign. The primary campaign was well run by the Kennedy aides and Kerry people - it was a very smooth path to a win in spite of little party support and almost no media support.

The general election was tougher - they needed more people and it seems some of the Edwards and Clinton people were more loyal to their person than to Kerry.
