Clinton camp converging on New York Tuesday, and shedding staff
Politico ^ | 6/2/08 | Ben Smith

Posted on 06/02/2008 8:44:32 AM PDT by Dawnsblood

Members of Hillary Clinton's advance staff received calls and emails this evening from headquarters summoning them to New York City Tuesday night, and telling them their roles on the campaign are ending, two Clinton staffers tell my colleague Amie Parnes.

The advance staffers — most of them now in Puerto Rico, South Dakota, and Montana — are being given the options of going to New York for a final day Tuesday, or going home, the aides said. The move is a sign that the campaign is beginning to shed — at least — some of its staff. The advance staff is responsible for arranging the candidate's events around the country.

With the future of her campaign in doubt, Clinton hasn't announced her plans for the final election night of the primary cycle or beyond, but the aides said she would stage her election night event in New York City. Her entourage is currently expected to wake up Tuesday in New York and to arrive in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night.

Clinton's senior aides didn't respond to requests for comment on her Tuesday night plans.

Shed...such an appropriate word...especially when talking about Frau Clinton, a woman who's been a snake for most of her adult life.

That’s so when the Michelle Obama feces hit the fan it will look like Hillary! has nothing to do with it. If she kept her campaign on full throttle people would say it’s because she knew Michelle’s diatribe video was coming out. Just hope it all plays out before the mother ship beams me up.

Makes complete sense as the advance staff are used for setting up events, etc. for each state’s primary and Tuesday marks the end of the primary season. So what would be the need for a bunch of advance staff when no primaries remain?....

OF course they are leaving, after Tuesday and until the convention they won’t have a thing to do until/unless Hillary gets the nomination.

Baraq has probably sent his people home for a while too, no sense burning them out when they are in a holding pattern until things get decided by the delegates.

Yes there’s always hope for your candidate, isn’t there Blue Turdle?

It’s people like you who will get Hillary elected. You’ve taken the race bait the Clintons tossed out, and Hillary and Bill will thank you and your ilk when she waddles to the podium to take the oath of office next year.

Craig and Tony (Livingstone and Marceca), may find themselves gainfully employed soon.

Andrew Breitbart told the Friends this morning that she is still laying groundwork and will pretend she supports Barry until the day after the election...then all her units spread out over the country will spring into operation and start the campaign for 2012.

NR’s York reports Michelle said “why’d he” not “whitey” during her rant. He, of course, is W.

I know its just a rumour, but there has been too much chatter about this “tape”. There has to be something behind it.
