Braun hires ex-NOW chief Ireland to run campaign

[CMT]

Democrat Carol Mosley Braun has hired forner National Organization for Women President Patricia Ireland to head her presidential campaign amid questions about the future of the long-shot bid...

Intereviewed Monday on MSNBC's "Hardball" program, Braun said that despite troubles raising money, she has no plans to quit the race...

Ireland...will serve as campaign manager and try to turn the endorsements of NOW and the National Women's Political Caucus into much-needed financial support for her campaign.

Ireland spent a decade as NOW's outspoken president, helping to lead opposition to Clarence Thomas' Supreme Court nomination and spearheading efforts to preserve abortion rights.

2. Did anyone see her on Hardball?

I wonder how hard Tweety smacked *her* around...

I heard her on Diane Rehm this morning and I was pleased that Diane grilled her on how she would pay for her Healthcare package the same way she did Kucinich.
