Clinton Campaign Manager Steps Down

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Hillary Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle stepped down today as the candidate braces for more loses in the five states and the District of Columbia that hold contests this month.

The campaign announced today that Solis Doyle would be replaced by Maggie Williams, a senior adviser to Clinton and a former chief of staff to the first lady.

...

On Saturday, Clinton lost to rival Barack Obama in Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington state and the Virgin Islands. He is expected to win all three contests on Tuesday in what is known as the “Potomac Primary” when Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., hold contests. This would bring his total to 22 states, if he also wins in Maine, compared to Clinton’s 12 states.

...

Obama didn’t just win the three states that voted on Saturday, he won by huge margins. In Nebraska, 68% of caucus-goers picked Obama, compared to 32% for Clinton. The Illinois senator won by a similar margin in Washington state.

The losses have been attributed to early mistakes within the campaign. After early warnings to avoid campaigning in Iowa all together, Solis Doyle led a push to campaign hard in the state. Clinton came out with a third-place finish after pouring millions of dollars and nearly a year of efforts into winning in Iowa.

The loss cost her valuable resources and momentum that some political pundits say are still hurting her campaign.

doesn't reflect well on the management of her campaign.

Certainly an indication that her camp knows they are in trouble.

That's true. I guess there's a bit of nostalgia in there.

She is loosing ground. She was just on 60 Minutes and just didn't come across well, at least to me. Of course I am a Republican so that was expected but I may end up voting Democrat this year.

Wrong again, eh Steven?

I agree that the animation on Meez is horrible. They annoy the holy ####### out of me, in general. Gupt's is better than most, though, in that he isn't just standing there looking stupid; he's actually doing something.

And I'm sure that Hillary's campaign manager "resigned".... uh huh. She got the TravelGate treatment.
