POLITICS IN BRIEF Kerry faces call to fire strategist 12/8/2003
John F. Kerry came under fire yesterday for the role that his chief media strategist, Robert Shrum, played advising Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger this fall in his successful run for governor of California. Jason Kinney, a former speechwriter for ousted Democratic governor Gray Davis, sent a letter to Kerry urging him to fire Shrum for his "betrayal" of the Democratic Party. A political opponent of Kerry's provided the letter to the Globe. Kerry, asked two weeks ago about Shrum's California role, said Shrum was not expected to clear his clients by the Kerry campaign and declined further comment. Yesterday, Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan said he had nothing to add to Kerry's earlier remarks. Shrum, an ally of the Kennedy family, of which Schwarzenegger is a member by marriage, could not be reached for comment. (PATRICK HEALY)
