After yesterdays sweep by Obama, it’s not surprising that Hillary Clinton has replaced manager Patti Solis Doyle with her White House aide Maggie Williams. Maybe Clinton should consider getting rid of Blackwater’s Mark Penn if she really wants to be serious about change.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with longtime aide Maggie Williams on Sunday, engineering a shake-up in a presidential campaign struggling to overcome rival Barack Obama’s financial and political strengths.
The surprise announcement came hours after Obama’s sweep of three contests Saturday. The Illinois senator also grabbed the early lead in caucuses in Maine on Sunday.
Campaign aides said Solis Doyle made the decision to leave on her own and was not urged to do so by the former first lady or any other senior member of the team. But it comes as Clinton struggles to catch Obama in fundraising and momentum and faces the prospect of losing every voting contest yet to come in February.
Solis Doyle announced the shift in an e-mail to the staff on Sunday.
Clinton is hoping to stem the tide on March 4 when Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont vote.
In a statement, Clinton praised Solis Doyle and said she looked forward to her continued advice in the coming months.
