McCain campaign changes leadership
Schmidt's taking "full operational control" of the entire campaign means the role of Campaign Manager Rick Davis has been reduced, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
Schmidt will continue to report to Davis, who now will focus on fundraising, selecting a vice presidential nominee and running the convention, sources told the Post. The changes were announced during a staff meeting Wednesday.
"Schmidt's going to run the campaign. He's still going to report to Rick. But he's going to have much broader ability to make decisions," said a top McCain aide said. "When he says something to the political people, there will be no question, no discussing."
One former campaign worker for the presumptive Republican nominee said the switch in roles was a reaction to people outside of the campaign who said McCain's recent presidential efforts have made several mistakes and seems to have a muddled message.

Good luck! It will take more than leadership change to help this tired, boring old man. I'm sure he is a very nice and well-intentioned person. However, we need a young, strong, vibrant leader full of integrity, vision and energy. The job of reclaiming this country and reinstituting our constitution is not one for someone who does not even understand what torture is and why it is wrong!
And, that is only one thing we need to repair!
Sorry, no matter how you package and repackage this old man, he just won't cut it. Perhaps you should teach him how to use a computer so that he can read what is being said about him on the blogs.
I feel sorry for you - you definitely have your work cut out for you!!
