Hillary Clinton has replaced Patty Solis Doyle as her campaign manager with Maggie Williams, her top White House aide while Hillary was first lady. It seems that many democrats are not happy with this selection, as Maggie has a history of campaign finance corruption ,and her purported involvement in other past scandals, including Vince Foster’s Death. Solis Doyle’s reason for leaving? To “spend more time with her family”. All I can say to that is – Now? Really?
Over at The Huffington post, Arianna has brought back information from 1997 detailing Williams’ involvement with the Johnny Chung campaign finance scandal. ABC News Political Blogs also mention Maggie William’s connections to illegal fundraising. It seems odd to me that Hillary has hurriedly asked a prominent African American, to revive a suddenly struggling campaign, desperate to raise money, huh?
Barack Obama? He is raising far more money than Clinton, picked up key Hispanic endorsements, and, won a Grammy, over the weekend. Hillary’s campaign will of course go on however, until we have a mess at the Democratic Convention.
This race is going down to the wire, and this could be one of the most interesting, and historically important, presidential races in history. It will also be interesting to see how many stops the Clinton’s are willing to pull out to get back to the White House.

Solis Doyle, is dispensable, she has served her purpose to help us win the latino vote in the big states. We no longer need her or the latino vote to capture the white house. The women and black vote will now carry the Hillary campaign the rest of the way. Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with longtime aide Maggie Williams on Sunday. Ms. Clinton believes Maggie Williams is a better choice to target the women vote. Clinton said in a statement. “I am lucky to have Maggie on board and I know she will lead our campaign with great skill towards the nomination.” This is a race to the white house, not a popularity contest. If the latino community feelings are hurt because Ms. Doyle services is no longer needed, I will address those issues after I am president.
