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

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.

Should it be: “Adios’ amigo or amiga (unfortunately French was the foreign language of my day).

Poor Patti-when she spilled the beans that she wasn’t getting paid, she didn’t realize the others working on the campaign were getting paid—she’s such a “good friend” you know! Hillary didn’t think she had to pay her! Well, Hillary got what she paid for, didn’t she?

Some Hillary spokeswoman tried to spin the whole event this morning on NBC Today by claming that Doyle had done a great job. I was thinking, “Suuuure...I often times fire someone when they are doing a great job.”

It looks like the Clinton campaign is coming apart at the seams.
