CNN) — Former Hillary Clinton chief of staff Maggie Williams will take over as campaign manager, Clinton staffers were told today. Current campaign manager and longtime friend Patti Solis Doyle will assume the role of senior adviser.

The switch has been rumored for more than a month – ever since Election Day in New Hampshire, when it was revealed that Williams would be joining the campaign in the wake of Clinton’s loss in the Iowa caucuses. At the time, Solis Doyle was urged to remain on board.

2. Oops..

Sorry, I don't normally post/read/go near there.

I heard it on television and posted it here. :blush:

3. Nothing wrong with that. There needs to be an LBN post.

If you hadn't done it, I would have.

6. Thanks

You've helped clear my moment of doubt on if it belonged here or in GDP. :hi:

14. I agree it should be on LBN - I'm just commenting on how fast the

trigger fingers are over at GD-P!

19. It wasn't you that made me question the post really

I'm just a tad confused as to which candidate post belong in LBN vs. which don't.

I decided to alert on my post and ask the mods to decide if it belonged in LBN. :crazy:

4. this was rumored in that same piece that talked about the $5 million loan

...a shake up was coming.

12. It had been rumored for longer than that.

Solis Doyle's campaign management style was question ever since Iowa, but due to loyalty, she had been kept in the top post until today.

5. senior advisor, my ass.

Solis Doyle has been the source of much trouble within the campaign. Her personality and abrasiveness has translated into resentment and anger.

The original announcement of her appointment shocked many, especially experienced political consultants. Her big claim to fame, after being a good, loyal, young, inexperienced FOH, was her big brother, and aldercritter in Chicago.

Had they done this before Iowa, the whole delegate picture would be different.

13. This ties in to the thread over at GD-P claiming the Chicago

Machine is using Obama to take over the Party!

16. That's not Doyle, that's Hillary's personal assistant, Huma Abedin.

This is Patti Solis Doyle:

15. Start the Scapegoating. It couldn't be the candidate! No...

Hillary is going down in flames because of her idiotic IWR vote and refusal to apologize. The numerous other votes in favor of corporate interests over the citizenry aren't helping either. I fully expect to see more subordinates step down as the DINO/DLC candidate flounders.

17. DING! DING! DING!

18. About freakin' time!

What on earth took so long. Of course, Penn is still there, advising and guiding things. Damn. Even though I'm supporting Obama, I don't take any pleasure in watching her campaign sell her short.

20. Did she hire Karl Rove?

They way her followers have been behaving, he would be the perfect choice.

21. Patty Suckis Doyle was a problem from the get-go. Should have gotten rid of her long ago.

[trof]

22. A move to recapture the black vote?

Ms. Williams is African-American.
