On Deep Background – Hillary’s Campaign Staffers Getting Resumes Out.

On Deep Background – Hillary’s Campaign Staffers Getting Resumes Out.

Just off the phone with DC contacts. At least two major PR/Lobbying firms in DC have received a number of resumes and cover letters from Clinton campaign staffers. Apparently they are not being sent to other campaigns yet, as that would be “too disloyal.”

By sending them to the DC firms, they are trying to avoid the “rush to the lifeboats.” That way they can get short-term job back in DC on an issues-related campaign and be available to return to active work for a presidential candidate once it’s down to one or two real possibilities. No one wants to be the "last man standing" in Hillaryland.

The way they are doing it without being caught by a paranoid Hillary is by having the resumes ready to be faxed and e-mailed by a friend, and then simply sending some sort of “John has a long moustache” message to that friend. Then the friend dispatches the faxes and e-mails without any discernable action on the part of the staffer.

Jumping from Hillary to Obama or Edwards right now would be seen as “bad juju,” but a month working on some liberal issue campaign or for some Senator or Congressmember gives them deniability.

The people doing this are not the “true believers” but rather the pros who saw working for Hillary as a way to make a living while positioning themselves for jobs in the next (Democratic) administration. After two years in the administration, it then would be over to a K Street lobbying shop for two or six years, then on to the next campaign, and the cycle repeats itself.

The resumes going out are an indication that they see it as probably over, and that the money will be drying up fast….. and they should know….

Who’s going to give the wench a job then? LMAO...

She's collected enough Chinese money to live high on the hog for the rest of her useless life.

She doesn't need money. She needs power. I wouldn't count her out just yet.

Heh, that last sentence should have said “one.” It sort of changes my meaning to leave out the “e” there.

Apologies to any ladies “present.”

Her wickedness practices bad juju and the big pins are being pushed in as the moment is happening. She has bad juju dolls on everyone, do not count her out or under-estimate the level of her wickedness. Saron, will soon unleash the forces of wickedness./Just Asking - seoul62.......

Agreed.

She’s been prepping for this her whole life.
I can’t believe she’ll just drop out without killing someone first. Without killing everybody first.

Unless maybe she drops out, then kills Hussein just before the convention, where she is then drafted by popular demand.

Actually, she has been sinking internally for about 4-5 months. The magic was gone.

I would agree on all counts. She’s such an egomaniac though. I can’t imagine her sitting at home.

And I wouldn’t count her out just yet either.

Whoever's abandoning her ship is a fool. She's in it to win, nothing short of that. This is a setup for "The Comeback Kid, Part Deux" - nothing more.

The Beast will be in the general election - and all of the young Osamabama fanatics won't be voting for her, having their young idealism crushed by the democrat machine.

Or at least that's how I see it this Monday morning...

This fits nicely with the other thread which says that Hillary is now not taking advice from her staff, but is insisting on calling all the shots herself.

I imagine a lot of the professionals on her staff decided to make their move as soon as she made her new approach clear.
