Kerry’s Abandoned Kids
Sen. John Pierre isn’t the Music Man. Plus: Edwards wants Shrum back. Also: Dean woos Big Labor.

, whose own presidential
campaign is floundering worse than
John Kerry
‘s,
may be ready to bail out his senatorial chum. Word inside the Kerry
camp is that wife
Terry Kerry
wants hubby adviser
Bob Shrum
off the campaign. “She’s pissed that
Senator Kerry wasn’t more offensive minded earlier in the race and
ceded control to [
Howard
]
Dean
,”
says a Kerry staffer in Washington.
/p>
Shrum, you’ll recall, was an early adviser to Edwards, before jumping to Kerry’s camp because Kerry was willing to give him a level of control Edwards wasn’t willing to surrender.
Now that Edwards is buried in the back of the polls, and Kerry folks are blaming Shrum for their problems, perhaps Shrum will find solace with his old compadre from North Carolina.
Shrum’s role in the Kerry camp is becoming increasingly less clear, as campaign manager Jim Jordan and adviser John Sasso have become more visible in Kerry’s campaign offices. At the time Shrum jumped from Edwards to Kerry, the former Gore adviser was believed to have turned on his former client because of the Massachusetts Senator’s offer to be an uber-adviser extraordinaire.
