Well, the changes continue, and this time it's none other than the chief campaign spokesman who's leaving. This is a campaign in disarray. More flip-flops in the roster than in their platform. Psheh.

Bush Campaign Loses Spokesman

The move came after US political analysts speculated that Democratic White House hopeful John Kerry's campaign was in trouble because it shook up its communications team, bringing aboard an erstwhile spokesman for former president Bill Clinton, Joe Lockhart.
