The campaign needs to eliminate any hint of a connection between it and the vets group; otherwise it could be found to have violated some campaign finance laws, or at least there could be a lot of bad press so suggesting.
It doesn't matter of there is not real "connection" as a practical matter -- i.e., if the guy is just coincidentally a member of the two organizations and not involved in any coordination activities. He needed to go just to torpedo the issue before it became a problem.
I don't believe for a second that there is coordination going on here. On the other hand, I do believe it is happening on the Kerry side, but we see no reporting of it.
