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 e-mail to the campaign's staff, sent about 15 minutes 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 advisers, 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.

UPDATE: Clinton herself puts out a statement:

Patti Solis Doyle has done an extraordinary job in getting us to this point - within reach of the nomination - and I am enormously grateful for her friendship and her outstanding work. And, as Patti has said, this already has been the longest presidential campaign in history and one that has required enormous sacrifices of everyone and our families. I look forward to her continued advice in the months ahead. Patti and I have worked with Maggie Williams for more than a decade. I am lucky to have Maggie on board and I know she will lead our campaign with great skill towards the nomination.

Obama Defeats Clinton in Maine Caucuses

AUGUSTA, Maine -- Barack Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in Maine presidential caucuses Sunday, grabbing a majority of delegates as the state's Democrats overlooked the snowy weather and turned out in heavy numbers for municipal gatherings.

Democrats in 420 Maine towns and cities were deciding how the state's 24 delegates will be allotted at the party's national convention in August. Despite the weather, turnout was "incredible," party executive director Arden Manning said.

With 87 percent of the participating precincts reporting, Obama led in state delegates elected over Clinton, 1,837 to 1,277, with 17 uncommitted.

A source close to the candidate tells CNN that Solis Doyle's job had been at risk since Clinton's poor finish in Iowa. Clinton's performance there coincided with the realization that the campaign had been running out of money -- a fact that had not been related to the New York senator until then -- but Clinton stuck with Solis Doyle out of loyalty, the source said.

The broom is probably getting a lot of flying time about now!! :wink: :lol:

In doing a little searching on Maggie Williams- it appears she is a "loyal" Clinton supporter :wink:

Hillary Clinton takes care of Maggie Williams
For the life of me, I cannot recall what it was that Maggie Williams could not recall.

I just remember that in one or more of the many investigations into possible abuses of power and obstruction of justice in the Clinton White House, the first lady's chief of staff was questioned by investigators and simply did not recall.

Ms. Williams' testimony was consistent with the testimony of Mrs. Clinton, who didn't recall anything either.


Apparently everybody's memory has returned because in July, Senator Clinton used campaign funds to write a $37,500 check to Ms. Williams.

It was a mistake, the Clinton campaign told the New York Times when the paper was rude enough to ask. Ms. Williams should have been paid less than $5,000 as a reimbursement for travel costs.

Of course, the mistake was writing down that campaign money was used to take care of Maggie Williams.

What was it she couldn't recall? Was it about Mrs. Clinton's role in the travel office firings? The FBI files? The documents removed from Vince Foster's office? The vanishing Rose Law Firm billing records?

Who can remember, it's all so long ago. Surely no one cares any more.

If anyone cared, it would cost a lot more than $37,500 to keep Maggie Williams from recalling.
