Salon.com News | Clinton adviser critiques Kerry campaign: "March 18, 2005  |  Albany, N.Y. -- A top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks fellow Democrat John Kerry 'ran what was basically an inconsistent campaign' for president last year, according to a published report.

Clinton and Kerry are considered potential rivals for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

The Kerry campaign had 'a different message every two or three weeks,' Ann Lewis, director of communications for Clinton's political action committee, said in Friday's issue of the Forward, a Jewish weekly published in New York City.

Jenny Backus, a Kerry political aide, said after reading the story: 'Kerry and Clinton are very close. They're working together on lots of good bills. He's doing a big fund-raiser for her in Boston. He headlined a big fund-raiser for her in D.C.'"
