They hired Lockhart August 19th
I guess some people haven't checked the political wire lately:
Update: The National Journal reports Kerry's campaign today "announced the official addition of several 'key new staff' for the race's final weeks. Joe Lockhart joins as a senior adviser, while Joel Johnson will be director of rapid response; other additions include Lori Denham, Karen Finney, Dr. Susan Rice and former Congressman Mel Levine. Rumor has it that the recent Swift Boat skirmishes are at least part of the reason behind the hires." -August 31, 2004
Former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart and another former aide to President Clinton are joining Kerry's campaign to help bolster its communications team.The hiring of Lockhart and Joel Johnson are part of an effort by Kerry to expand and improve his team for the stretch drive against Bush. Johnson also has worked for Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.
Former Clinton White House adviser Doug Sosnik, strategist Michael Whouley and several others recently joined Kerry's political shop.
"Joe and Joel are the best the Democratic Party has to offer," communications director Stephanie Cutter said. "I'm pleased they agreed to come aboard to help get us over the finish line." -August 19, 2004
Stay tuned for more two-week-old news, coming sometime later this month....
