Further illustrating "the revolving door that exists between those who run campaigns and those who lobby," the Kerry campaign [3]'s recent hires -- Joel Johnson, Joe Lockhart [4], Howard Wolfson and Michael Whouley -- are all lobbyists, as well as Democratic strategists. Johnson directs the Harbour Group [5], a frequent Alexander Strategy Group [6] partner whose clients include the oil and pharmaceutical industries. Johnson also represented the Asbestos Study Group [7] industry coalition. Whouley's Dewey Square Group [8], "one of the country's foremost experts in so-called grass-roots and grass-tops lobbying [9]," often works with the DCI Group [10]. Lockhart and Wolfson are partners at the Glover Park Group [11]. Doug Ireland notes that "on CNN's Inside Politics, Jesse Jackson delivered a blistering attack on the Kerry campaign [12] for running away from the Democratic base and the issues it cares about."
