The contest without a winner cries for an encore, with today's NY Times :
a four-term senator with comparatively little management experience
moved slowly against a swift opponent
slow in taking action, bogged down in the very details
spent four weeks mulling the design of his campaign logo
most influenced by the last person who has his ear
"he's a thinker," said the Rev. Jesse Jackson
Unlike Mr. Bush... has little experience in managing any kind of large operation
a learning experience for him
sometimes leaving phone messages for his friends ...offering critiques of their performances
in an often wandering quest for data
repeatedly upended his staff... dismissing aides outright
threatened to run off the tracks
few people who call themselves his friends
focusing on his campaign's problems
the daily gallows humor at Kerry headquarters
none of them have too much authority
provided by people you don't know
little history with the man
a constant source of irritation
Mr. Kerry drifts off
apt to exhibit a blank face
affected the pottery industry
senses his candidacy is in peril
on the phone much more than other presidential candidates
waiting on a Nantucket beach for the wind to pick up so he could go kite-surfing
his cellphone is a negative for him
reduces the orderliness of the campaign
Kerry does not always take it
urging him to keep his speech short
"I've given up,"
" he doesn't listen sometimes."
