Clinton campaign manager out

Clinton's campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, left the position today, to be replaced by Clinton's former top White House aide, Maggie Williams. The change formalizes a shift in the campaign's power structure that began to set in after Clinton's win in New Hampshire,

I've obtained a copy of Solis Doyle's email to the campaign's staff, sent about 15 minute ago:

Over a year ago Hillary launched her campaign for President.

Her announcement began a historic effort that has inspired millions and brought hundreds of thousands to their feet all across this nation.

I have been proud to manage this campaign, and prouder still to call Hillary my friend for more than sixteen years. I know that she will make a great President.

This has already been the longest Presidential campaign in the history of our nation, and one that has required enormous sacrifices from all of us and our families.

During the last month I have been working closely with my longtime friend, Maggie Williams.

This week Maggie will begin to assume the duties of campaign manager. I will serve as a senior adviser to Hillary and the campaign and travel with Hillary from time to time on the road. Maggie is a remarkable person and I am confident that she will do a fabulous job.

Although I will continue to see you all at headquarters, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank each of you for your dedication, excellence, and passion over the last year.

You are the best campaign staff in the history of Presidential politics and I am grateful to each of you for your hard work and friendship.

The move doesn't have obvious consequences for the campaign's competing power centers. It's not the coup from Bill Clinton's advisors, the "white boys," that was rumored weeks ago but never came to pass. Williams, like Solis Doyle, is loyal first and foremost to Hillary, and has been very close to her for many years.

But Williams' influence has already been felt, I'm told, in the more ornate language in Clinton's speeches, and her presence adds a new dimension to the politics of Hillaryland.

Obama is the nominee lets get used to it ... More dangerous than Clinton thats for sure. Heck he even says Republicans are flocking to him? Wonder which Republicans they are?

She actually also has the vast majority of blacks too. Problem is instead of getting 92% she may only get 88% of their vote. Which CAN doom a democrat presidential candidiate.

You may be confusing Democrt vs Republican percentages in a national general election. In the Dmocrat Primaries, Obama is consistently picking up 80% of the Black vote. Hell, Hillary only received 30% of the Black vote in Michigan -- AND SHE WAS THE ONLY CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT!

This is TOO funny ... it ain’t how your campaign is being managed, beastie, it’s that no one likes you.

This is an attempt by Hildabeast to recapture the black vote. Yup, fire the mexican and replace her with a black.

LOL!

[calcowgirl]

I believe your response was intended for the person who posted that.

If that were the case why would she get rid of a Hispanic to recruit a black? I think she has sensed enough support among Hispanics to take their vote for granted, and now trying to mend relations with the blacks.

Ethics & Loyalty !!

And that was FRANK RICH!

GAY FRANK RICH!

Lets not forget when the Hildabeast was young, she would go to the fields and watch the kids of migrant field hands in the Chicago area, even though that would have meant she traveled about 60 or 70 miles to find the supposed migrants.

While in Arkansas, future "husband" Bill was watching Black churhes burning...

The latest fire? One of Hillary’s most devoted fund-raisers, Norman Hsu, is wanted for grand theft; Patti and company immediately gave his $23,000 in donations to charity.

I find this very interesting. The donations were given to charity? Which charities? Where's the list? Did I miss it? (I just bet some of those "charities" have some pretty strange connections with who they support - like subversive groups, etc.) And, I thought that campaign contributions given for a candidate were for that use only, and if not, were to be returned to the people who made the donations, even if via Hsu, shouldn't those funds have gone back to the donors?

I know I would not be happy if I sent money for a candidate's campaign and found out it went to a charity that I did not pick to get my money!

Im in Ohio and since McCain sucks and its over, my husband and I are voting Obama in the primary. We encourage all Texans to do the same. This will hurt Hillary and you actually get to do this for free. Go Obama!!!

She was then spirited out of the country and “unavailable” for questioning in regards to Fosters’ strange demise.

I don't remember that, but I do remember her telling Senator Connie Mack that "we don't really care" in response to his questions durning the Whitewater hearings. Good stuff, but MSM never showed an unedited moment of it.

If I am Obama, I would make sure that some sucker starts the car in the morning. I foresee a friary crash.
