'Monster' Mash-Up: Power and Clinton at State
By David Knowles - Politics DailyBarack Obama's newly assembled "Team of Rivals" is about to experience its first real compatibility test. That's because Samantha Power--the brilliant Obama campaign adviser who stepped down after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster" back in the primary election--is now working on the transition team for the very branch of government to be headed up by none other than Hillary herself. So, as Clinton will be formally announced as Obama's pick for Secretary of State this coming week, Power is already helping shape that office. It will be interesting to see how these two smart and capable women ...
Embattled Obama Adviser Steps Down
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyJim Johnson, a member of Sen. Barack Obama's Vice-Presidential selection committee embroiled in a controversy over discounted mortgages he received from mortgage giant Countrywide Financial, resigned his position with the campaign today. Sen. Obama released a statement announcing the resignation and said that Johnson did not want his service to the campaign to become a distraction."Jim did not want to distract in any way from the very important task of gathering information about my vice presidential nominee, so he has made a decision to step aside that I accept." When asked about the ...

Carville: Stop Campaign Suicide
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWhile researching another story, I came across the headline to a James Carville editorial that read, "Halt the political hara-kiri", and my heart skipped a beat! I got that feeling creeping up my leg like Chris Matthews. Carville, an outspoken Democratic strategist and longtime Clinton loyalist, has finally come around to my way of thinking, and is urging Hillary Clinton to stop campaigning against Barack Obama on issues where she herself is vulnerable to John McCain! Carville has a lot of influence with Clinton, she'll have to listen to him. It's not too late! Then I read the piece. Not so ...
Obama's Other Power Problem
By Dave - Politics DailyThe Samantha Power Saga is not over, because apparently she is not done speaking uncomfortable truths. Uncomfortable Truth #1: Hillary is a monster. Well, maybe monster isn't diplomatic, but being single-mindedly determined to get what she wants regardless of the consequences is a very close synonym. Uncomfortable Truth #2: Obama's Iraq plan may change when he actually, you know, starts getting briefed on things. Clinton's campaign sent an e-mail to supporters telling them about the monster comment and asking for contributions to "show the Obama campaign that there is a price to this kind ...
'Hillary Clinton is a Monster'... You Betcha
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe race for the Democratic Presidential nomination has gotten even uglier, if that's possible. Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson compared Obama to Ken Starr, while Hillary Clinton, as reported by PM's David Knowles, questioned the Illinois Senator's readiness to lead in the most open fashion yet, and an aide to Barack Obama called Hillary Clinton a "monster" yesterday, then apologized. From The Daily News: During an interview with The Scotsman, Samantha Power, one of Obama's unpaid advisers, said Clinton would stop at nothing in her zeal to seize the lead from Obama. "She is a monster, too - ...
