Hilary Clinton has revamped her campaign with a new campaign manager. Maggie Williams, a long-time aid of the senators from the male Clinton administration, replaced previous manager Patty Solis Doyle earlier today.
The rationale behind the replacement is obvious. Clinton is losing her grip with losses in Washington, Maine, Louisiana and Nebraska and expected losses in Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland. She is now less than 30 delegates ahead of Barack Obama, and loaned her own campaign $5 million earlier this week.
With the nomination up for grabs and no quick end in sight, campaign supporters, donors and the staff itself wanted new energy and perhaps a different approach, and Clinton made the change. (LA Times Online http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-hillary11feb11,0,7562049.story)
Will this be enough to help her pull through? With 237 delegates at stake on Feb 12 alone, it's hard to say. If I were her new campaign manager I might pencil in another tearful ratings-bumper of a speech or have her start volunteering at soup kitchens in Texas. At stake in their March 4th primary? A whopping 228 delegates.
