Hillary Bloodletting Continues: Two More Staffers Out
By Greg Sargent - February 12, 2008, 9:19PM

With Hillary's losses tonight, two more staffers have been pushed out of Hillaryland: Kevin Thurman and Crystal Patterson, two key players from the Hillary campaign's blog-outreach team. Hillary campaign internet guru Peter Daou sends me this:

"As part of the expansion of our Internet department following a tremendously successful month online, we will be adding 4 new staffers, two of whom will replace Kevin Thurman and Crystal Patterson, who moved on to new positions. Kevin and Crystal have been valued members of our team and we are grateful to them for their contribution to the campaign."

While those two staffers are out, Daou is apparently expanding the online department in the wake of their post-Super Tuesday online fundraising success.

1. Wonder how Penn's book signing went in NYC last night?

[Yael]

2. LOL! We are "tremendously successful online, so we are firing the 2 people responsible for that and

hiring 4 n00bs to take their place".


:rofl:

[alteredstate]

7. So that's where Murkin went!

[psychopomp]

22. Likely, eh?

:rofl:

[grantcart]

26. or maybe he lost his job for being on DU too much

[Cha]

23. Orwell's 1984

would be proud. Spin that sucker into the ground.

[fenriswolf]

3. wonder when we are gonna see them start posting on here

[madaboutharry]

4. It might be too late.

It seems that in presidential races early stradegies and decisions set the course. I don't see her reversing this. In my opinion, Obama would need to screw up in a major way to change things.

[rodeodance]

5. what an ugly headline. --"we will be adding 4 new staffers,"

[Yael]

18. No, firing 2 on staff and replacing them with 4 new people

Try to keep up, okay? :(

[rodeodance]

21. MY point was the nasty sounding headline--there have too many of them, and people

are fired all the time.

No need to smart at me. I can read.

[bigtree]

6. protege of the exiting manager. no biggie

more overblown crap. one idiotic tactic.

[Coexist]

8. Wow - did their blog-outreach-team get TS'd?

what did I miss?

:evilgrin:

[Hill_YesWeWill]

9. I think it's too late really nt

[OzarkDem]

10. Sounds like a good move

Putting more people to work on their internet outreach staff.

[Yael]

14. While firing the 2 that made it "tremendously successful "?

Spin this as "expansion" all you want.

[Thrill]

11. Wow. Is this how she going to act as President?

[Cha]

24. Hopefully, Brent, we'll never

have to cross that 1984 bridge.

[HeraldSquare212]

12. Re-orgs take time, this is not a good time for a full-scale retooling. nt

[catagory5]

15. So 4 more come and 2 leave....

Why wouldnt the post say Clinton to add 2 more staffers.......It is getting deep in here. Oh well, it comes in cycles. Obama's just happen to be the latter half of Feb.

[Yael]

19. Because she didn't "add 2", she "added 4 and let 2 go"

I know -- devil is in the details and all that...

[HeraldSquare212]

20. Because the people who they brought in leave, too and need to be replaced.

when the leaders of groups leave, usually the people who work for them leave, and it works its way down the organization. And then protocols and objectives change, etc. It takes time to work its way through an organization.

[Eurobabe]

13. Crystal Patterson, wasn't she her blogger

for all those online presentations?

[madaboutharry]

17. yes, I remember watching those

Sometimes it would be good to be a fly on the wall.

[David Zephyr]

16. Bloodletting indeed.

[Schema Thing]

25. Are two of the new staffers "Magsdem" and "Ignored"?
