Clinton campaign manager out
Politico ^ | 2/10/08 | Ben Smith

Posted on 02/10/2008 1:15:42 PM PST by libh8er

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.

Very impressive choice. Illegally cleaned out Vince Fosters office, accepted illegal Chinese money in the White House, and she’s black. My oh my, Hillary does have a way about her! I expect that M Williams will be seen at Hillary’s side a lot more than Bill these days, not that Obama is leading in delegates.

Hillary must have just left. It was sunny and warm when I took the picture of her coming over the mountain.

If this plot were any thicker it would surpass the atomic mass of lead. Incredible amount of dot connecting. Thanks for posting this.

The Hillary Clinton Accountability Project will shortly launch its fundraising drive to raise $500,000 to support the most important citizen’s legal initiative of 2008. The landmark civil fraud suit of Paul v Clinton et al which the California Supreme Court ordered to proceed against the Clintons, Grammys Producer Gary Smith and Clinton agent Jim Levin, will be set for trial and a discovery schedule at a special conference to be held in Los Angeles Superior Court on February 21, 2008.

The first law suit in American history to bring a President and a Senator to court for defrauding the Senator’s largest campaign donor and his public company will be set for trial and discovery at the Case Management Conference before Judge Munoz. Discovery and depositions of key witnesses, including the Clinton family, Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Terry McAuliffe, Harold Ickes, Howard Wolfson, Kelly Craighead, Barbara Streisand, Brad Pitt, Larry King, Mike Wallace among an array of political and entertainment leaders, will present an inside look at a culture of corruption that will shock the public.

I knew Hillary is bad news, but with Maggie Williams back on the scene, it’s evidence that Hill is bringing back her old, corrupt associates. She’s bringing back the people who know where all the bodies are buried, which sadly, could be more than a metaphor.

I don’t think so in this case. Her relationship with Maggie goes way back and it has to do with hiring someone who she knows will stop at nothing to help her reach her goal. Maggie’s race is only incidental.
