A change in the weather is known to be extreme, but what’s the sense of changing horses in midstream? The Clinton campaign shake-up continues, with deputy campaign manager Mike Henry following Patty Doyle out (he’s the guy who suggested skipping Iowa — that’s looking rather prescient these days) and Hillary’s web team also getting the boot.
In the meantime, The Atlantic‘s Josh Green tells the backstory of the Solis Doyle firing, and see Dubyaesque overtones therein. “Rather than punish Solis Doyle or raise questions about her fitness to lead, Clinton chose her to manage the presidential campaign for reasons that should now be obvious: above all, Clinton prizes loyalty and discipline, and Solis Doyle demonstrated both traits, if little else. This suggests to me that for all the emphasis Clinton has placed on executive leadership in this campaign, her own approach is a lot closer to the current president’s than her supporters might like to admit.“
