***** The Kerry campaign had ``a different message every two or three weeks,’’ Ann Lewis, director of communications for Clinton’s political action committee, told the Forward, a weekly New York City-based newspaper aimed at a Jewish audience.
***** Lewis is quoted as saying the Kerry campaign ``kept trying to rationally convince, to put a presidency together, line by line, plan by plan.’’
***** She said people ``don’t vote for plans, they vote for presidents.’’
***** Asked about the Forward’s report, Lewis told The Associated Press that her comments ``reflect general post-election conversations about campaign strategy that were discussed throughout the party.’’
*****
***** ``It doesn’t sound like the Ann Lewis I worked with at the Kerry campaign in 2004,’’ said Jenny Backus, a Kerry political aide, after reading the Forward story.
