Clinton Replaces Campaign Manager

MSNBC is reporting that Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle is being replaced. From MSNBC:

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with longtime aide Maggie Williams on Sunday, a staff shake-up coming just hours after presidential rival Barack Obama’s Saturday sweep of three contests.

Campaign aides said Solis Doyle made the decision to leave on her own and was not urged to do so by the former first lady or any other senior member of the team. But it comes as Clinton struggles to catch Obama in fundraising and momentum and faces the prospect of losing every voting contest yet to come in February. On Sunday, Obama was well ahead in the caucus count in Maine.

The Clinton campaign issued 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,” Clinton said. “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,” Clinton added.

The disruption continues. Was a shakeup inevitable in light of some recent setbacks? Will Clinton rebound from the potential 8 straight losses?

  2. D.J. says:

    Obama was just declared the winner in this afternoon’s caucuses in Maine.

    If Hillary loses Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania, I can’t see any feasible way that she can come close to 2,025 — even with her super delegates.
