Does Hilary have a PR person named Roshann Paris working for her?
The bitch has spent $175M in about one year and still is losing to osamaobama. She should have just sent $10 to each demonRAT primary voter and she would have doubled her total.
The Clinton camp is starting to panic.
Hillary should have sent each super-political-boss-delegate $220,000. Her nomination would be in the bag!
Its important to put all this in the context of the time and to remember how strikingly different the political landscape appeared then. Going through my reporting notes yesterday, I came across a quote that was given to me at the time by a close friend of the Clintons that seems comically misguided today but nicely captures the attitude that prevailed in Hillaryland in 2006, and suggests why Clinton might have been unwilling to move against her loyal servitor. She is piggybacking the only black president the United States has ever known, the Clinton friend piously lectured to me. Given African Americans prominence in the Democratic Party, people who talk up other candidates dont understand the impact that her husband will have. He wont passively sit back in this election. He is going to be an activist and he will get on the phone to black ministers and they will be there for her. (He had an impact, all right.)
where do they come with Mark Penn as a “right-winger” though?
This seems to sum it up fairly well. The Clintons have a habit of building these types of organizations and populating them with unhappiness. Does anyone know if this type of scuttlebutt is out about the Obama Organization? I've not heard or read anything about the morale or about other friction from that quarter.

Arrogant, pious fools. Looks good on them.
Ohio and Texas, bury the Beeotch. Let the House of Clinton fall.
Hopeful and then crest fallen? I bet.
The fact is that Obama has dictated this race from the beginning. He forced her into announcing far earlier than she had planed and cut her off at the fund raising trail. The one part of the strategy that didn't change was that on Super Tuesday it would be over. But he snookered her there too. Waste money in NY or California? Check his spending. He put his money in states he could win and stayed with her. Now it is scramble time. Texas and Ohio to the rescue? Now even if she wins she loses.
very interesting...first, Solis-Doyle wastes tons of money on the '06 Senate race that could have jump-started the pres campaign, then she manages the presidential campaign money so badly that Hillary was running short at a critical point in the campaign. Hillary doesn't come close to measuring up to GWB in the management arena.
Hill's brother, Hughie (golfing here with Bill), will also be moving back into
the White House.
After the Clintons left, one WH steward said when Hughie visited,
his sole occupation was ordering food from the WH kitchen.
"Psst! Antonio. You know Hillary HAD to fire Patti Solis to protect
The Clinton Legacy. You still gonna fix me up with hot latina babes, right?"
"Ai dunno, Beeley. Ai dun't theenk hot mamasitas wanna tango wit chu undah
da sheets, enymore, Beeley. But chu can still have da name of my denteesta."
Yeah, the arrogance of Doyle clearly reflects Hillary, and Hillary’s inability to fire this incompetant idiot really points out the candidates weakness in assessing people. A weakness we don’t need in the White House.
