The Washington Post reports that John Kerry's campaign consists of hundreds of policy advisors, specializing in areas such as justice, environment, economics, etc.
This is somehow supposed to be a criticism.
Bush, by comparison, is running a "no-frills" policy shop, consisting of about a dozen people.
Sure, I can see the argument that if you have hundreds of people advising on policy, those policies could possibly become muddled. On the other hand, if you only have a dozen people, can you really say you've got a good grasp on all sides of these critical issues?
These are huge topics, and having lots of advisors sounds like a good idea to me. Get all the information you can before deciding on policy positions.
Up with policy!
