BOSTON (AP) --
John Kerry's campaign for president is in turmoil following news that Kerry would quit the campaign. Citing differences of opinion on how the campaign should be run, Kerry formally stepped down as candidate today. This is the third tumultuous departure from the Kerry campaign in as many months. Previously, campaign spokesman Chris Lehane stepped down and campaign manager Robert Jordan was fired.
Former Kerry spokesman Chris Lehane said the campaign was looking into replacing Kerry with another candidate, "preferably Clark." Lehane said that Clark's military record would resonate with former Kerry supporters. "Failing that," Lehane said, "maybe we could find an obscure governor from a small state to run."
