Klobuchar's Expanding Campaign

Nevada Staff Hires

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar (KLOH'-buh-shar) is making her first campaign hires in early voting Nevada, scooping up staffers who worked for Beto (BET'-oh) O’Rourke’s campaign.
Klobuchar’s campaign announced Friday the Minnesota senator had hired Marina Negroponte to serve as state director and Cameron Miller to serve as Nevada political director. Both held similar roles in the state for O’Rourke’s campaign, which ended this month.

Another indication that the field is more fluid then people think. Amy seems to have had a very good surge in fundraising. This is only the latest in a series of staffing increases. While the funding may be in the nature of a hedge, there is no doubt that the Klobuchar campaign has been slowly expanding and she has been rising in the polls if only marginally.

She is beginning to separate from the bottom of the pack, if only right now in the first two states.
At this point moving from no way to just maybe is a huge step.

1. She can build momentum if she does well in Iowa

I think her chances are not as bad as some people think.

2. Always what she counted on

Doing well in Iowa.
A late move is a great move. But it needs to be on a solid base. We will see what Mayor Pete is able to do to hold on.
This move may be just a bit to soon for him. But what it has done is shake up the race yet again. This race is probably more fluid then 2004.

3. It's still early - lots of runway left!

And Amy's got strong ground game.
