Hillary/McCain Switchers: Political Chupacabras?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyJohn Dickerson at Slate breaks down the myth, versus the reality, of the influence that embittered Hillary Clinton supporters will actually have in this election. He likens it to a "Snipe Hunt," but I thought "Chupacabra" sounded funnier, and those have actually been found. We're going on a snipe hunt. The quarry: women who supported Hillary and, now that she's lost, will leave the Democrats to vote for McCain. Unlike a true snipe hunt, where you never find your prey, these politically prized voters can be found. In fact, they seem to be everywhere. Hillary supporters leave angry e-mails in my ...
Obama's Choice Angers Clinton Supporters
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyBarack Obama's selection of Solis Doyle to be Chief of Staff for whoever becomes the VP pick has some Clinton supporters, as Senator Obama might say, hysterical. Doyle is an extremely controversial figure in Clinton circles. Her departure from her role as campaign manager for Hillary was contentious, and Clinton insiders suspect her as a possible source for the recent, unfavorable Vanity Fair article about President Bill Clinton. Some loyalists think she is shopping a "McClellan" with various publishers. Some supporters are calling it a "slap in the face" or much, much worse. Conventional ...
Solis Doyle to Become Obama Veep COS
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyFormer Hillary Clinton staffer, Patti Solis Doyle, has been selected by the Obama campaign to be the Chief of Staff for whomever gets the VP nod from Obama. A long-time Clinton aide, you'll remember that Solis Doyle, the first Hispanic woman to lead a presidential campaign, left the Clinton camp back in February after being accused of some insiders of financial mismanagement and problems getting along with other factions in Clinton's inner circle. She was replaced by Maggie Williams. Solis Doyle's selection by the Obama campaign will make her the highest-ranking Hispanic in the Obama camp. ...
HRC Supporters to Demonstrate at DNC Rules Meeting
By Dave - Politics DailyAnd that has Harold Meyerson huffing and puffing: What's particularly outrageous is that the Clinton campaign supported the calendar, and the sanctions against Michigan and Florida, until Clinton won those states and needed to have their delegations seated. Last August, when the DNC Rules Committee voted to strip Florida (and Michigan, if it persisted in clinging to its date) of its delegates, the Clinton delegates on the committee backed those sanctions. All 12 Clinton supporters on the committee supported the penalties. (The only member of the committee to vote against them was an Obama ...
Clinton Insider Jumping to Obama?
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyIt's beginning to look a lot like the general election. During the last week, haymakers Barack Obama and John McCain threw at each other dominated headlines. Meanwhile, an article on the front page of The New York Times ponders the significance of "the waning days" of Senator Clinton's campaign while The Washington Post reports that fund raisers for Clinton and Obama are working on a merger. While the Clinton campaign continues to remind us that it's not over, Ben Smith of The Politico reports that Clinton's former campaign manager and perennial Clinton insider Patti Solis Doyle discussed ...
Report: 'Clinton Lied to About Money'
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyOn his blog today Andrew Sullivan points out that Mark Silva of the The Swamp dropped a few interesting details about the departure of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, into his coverage of Barack Obama's win in yesterday's Maine caucus. Silva's source indicated that Solis Doyle was on borrowed time since Iowa and had been spared being replaced earlier because of Senator Clinton's victory in New Hampshire. Silva writes: [E]ven more problematic was the campaign's money crunch. Over the last seven years, Clinton had raised $175 million for her reelection and her presidential ...
