Via Kausfiles:
Bob Shrum is now completely in charge of Kerry's advertising - the guy who was working with him has quit:
Shrum and Margolis worked together under the name of Riverfront Media, a company created for the campaign. During the primaries and caucuses, many pundits and consultants considered Kerry's ads to be the best on TV. The ads were produced in GMMB's space, not Shrum's, and inside the Kerry campaign Margolis was sometimes given more credit for them than Shrum.Get ready for more of "the people, not the powerful".Ever since Shrum joined the campaign last year, insiders have taken bets on how long the relationship with Margolis would last. The two men didn't know each other well, and in recent years often fiercely competed for the same political clients. Shrum is not known as a shrinking violet, and Margolis's ouster will undoubtedly be seen as evidence that Shrum, Kerry's closest adviser, is consolidating power inside the campaign.
