Obama's team courting former Hillary Clinton aide

NEW YORK (AP) — Democratic officials say President-elect Obama's transition aides have approached Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's former campaign manager about taking a senior White House post.

These officials say Patti Solis Doyle is considering taking the job, although she worries about the effect it would have on her two young children. She was contacted about possibly becoming Cabinet secretary, a job that involves coordinating the efforts of the White House and cabinet-level agencies.

The officials who described the developments did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to disclose them.

Doyle has worked for Clinton in a number of capacities, first in the White House and most recently when she made her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

2. So far, all the 'Dem officials' leaks have been spun in a way to depress interest in named target,

and every target so far has been someone seen as being disloyal to Clintons.

I doubt these 'Dem officials' spinning these stories are even part of the Obama team.

3. She did a good job as head of the Vp staff for Biden
Who knows? Maybe she works better under Obama and Biden then under the Clintons.
