Will choosing Patti as the scapegoat backfire re: Latino vote?
When Hillary Clinton "rearranged" her staff, one of my first thoughts was, "eek, she was so proud to place Patty in such a powerful position, will this backfire?" The Latinos helped hand her the majority in California - and Texas is just around the corner.

Bill left a bad taste in mouths of many in the African-American community. Will the Patty Solis Doyle issue push away more people? If so, will Hillary be left with just the older, white female vote soon?



Media silence. So, I figured I must be wrong - no one was talking about it. Just my musings.

Well, I guess there was just a pause before the reaction. It's coming on now. The links in the article are from the Post, but I think this thing may have legs. And it doesn't look like the best timing for this to be tossed around between pundits for Senator Clinton.
