Roll Call: Hillary Clinton in Line for Anti-Spin Post

Unable to effectively deliver their message to voters in the 2002 elections, Senate Democratic leaders are expected to name Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to their leadership team next year to help develop a plan to counter Republican spin. The promotion would put Clinton in charge of the Steering and Coordination Committee, a mid-level leadership position that is appointed by Senate Majority Leader Thomas Daschle (D-S.D.).
The current Steering chairman, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), is expected to step down from the post at the end of the 107th Congress to focus full-time on his White House campaign, opening a seat at the leadership table for Clinton, several Democratic sources said.

I think it was pretty evident that Kerry was a major failure at this task.
