Obama Camp Installs Another Hillary Operative In Key Ohio Slot


By Greg Sargent - June 25, 2008, 3:44PM

Attention, junkies -- time for some more staff notes!

The Obama campaign has installed another Hillary operative in a key slot in a crucial swing state: Jackie Bray, who was deputy field director for Hillary in Ohio during the primary, is now taking over field operations for Obama in that state.

Obama spokesperson Josh Earnest confirms the hire to me. Bray is the third Hillary operative the Obama campaign has hired, coming aboard after Hillary campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle and former Hillary spokesperson Isaac Baker, who was hired as Obama's Ohio communications director.

Hillary beat Obama in Ohio by 10 points, so it's a natural for the Obama team to sign Bray up for such a key post in such an important battleground.

1. Our tri county coordinator is a Hill person too and quite frankly....

I find it odd that they still call themselves Hill people. I am in Ohio hosting an Obama house party this weekend and I come home to a message today that they have a list of Hill people that I need to call so that they will feel included!!!!! Ya know I just don't get this at all. I may just be tired. I won't give up today but I can't promise tomorrow. Peace, Kim

2. You should let the campaign know about it, Kim

I'd hate to think of Obama supporters being turned off this way.

3. Thanks for that!

I am going to yoga tonight, maybe that will help. I will follow up with the Obama camp tomorrow after I have had time to reflect. Peace, Kim
