Seems like an odd time in a campaign to be changing personnel, but I suppose she feels she has to. I was surprised to see her choice for replacement. As I was reminded this morning, this is the woman who a secret service agent testified was removing boxes of files from Vince Foster's office after the suicide. Tapping her for campaign manager only seems likely to open up conversations about this and other Clinton White House events/accusations, etc.

Maybe the Clintons see some advantage in this? That's an interesting thought. Let the Republican outlets get all fired up over the new campaign manager, and the Clintons can fall back into impeachment defense mode, with a hope that most Democrats will rally around them.

So, Sen. Obama again says he doesn't care about the voters of Florida and lumps in Ohio (Becasue he thinks he will lose there too.)

While I appreciate that he has done well in small states, particularly with caucuses - states like Florida, Ohio, Penn, NJ and Michagan will decide the winner in November.

If one candidate wins both Ohio and Texas - that person will be our nominee. If not, this will continue until Pennsylvania!

Maggie Williams is an old Whitewater crony of the Clintons, so I guess this will be just like old times then - what fun! :-)

Are you backpeddling AGAIN, Hillary? So, if, as you're quoted as saying, this is not a 'significant change' and you just 'needed more help', why didn't you just hire some new help and not demote this 'dear friend and trusted advisor'? Spin! Spin! Spin!

Maybe, now that she's sure she has the Latino vote in her back pocket, she did what she's been wanting to do since before California, but couldn't since it might anger them. She probably figures by the time of the Texas primary, the Latinos and Hispanic voters will have forgotten that she dumped her campaign manager. Her supporters are so expendable that she didn't even publicy acknowledge the ones who DID vote for her over the week-end even though she lost. I really didn't expect her to congratulate Obama, but I didn't think she'd just ignore the primaries and cauceses. She'll probably back-peddle on that, too, and put out a statement once she sees critisims about her lack of gratitude for her supporters.

Well, Senator Clinton, if your campaign manager wasn't a scapegoat, why don't you get rid of the two people who ARE the real problem with your campaign? Oh, right...divorcing BILL would be so awkward at this stage, and if YOU resigned there wouldn't be a campaign at all. Silly me.

Obama forces tried to pack a city party meeting in Ann Arbor so they could make it look like there was a groundswell for ignoring the Michigan primary. That's very very old politics.

Hillary Clinton can do what she damn well pleases. people always have to think the worst of her. If all you people out there think your so perfact try walking on water!! as for as I'm concerend there Is not anyone running for president, Repub.or Dem. that can turn this country around. It's like a circus out there and their all clowen's. and the news media just cheer's It on. I will be so glad when this election Is over with, and may the best clown win!!

That's a good point, dream on. Why would someone not wanting to see anything about the political races spend time reading a blog like this one? I can see people in places like Iowa and New Hampshire having a complaint about campaigns being forced down their throats, but now that the race is expanded to mulitiple states over a rapid pace, its pretty to easy to hide from them if you want to.

Hey Take Back the Country...who are we taking it back from? And didn't the NY Times endorse Hillary? Wouldn't be so good for them is Bama won would it...and considering the fact that she's still senator of the state,...well...

RELEASE your TAX return Hillary.

your refusal to release it while Obama did makes it look lik you are hiding something from people.

Obama: please release your campaign fundraising details, so we can be sure that you have given back EVERY RED CENT of that $100,000 donation from your "friend" Rezko of 17 years, who now sits in jail on corruption and money laundering charges in Illinois

Clinton: please release details about your campaign contributions including those from Peter Paul which you failed to disclosed and for which there is evidence of you violating federal election laws and obstruction of justice both felonies.

A Campaign Manager dont just step down in the middle of a Big Campaign!There more here then meets the eye.Yo amgios, Clinton No, Obama Si!

I understand that campaigns have to look where their bread and butter is however I would find it insulting that the Clinton campaign is not giving any of her voters credit for their work this weekend, not even giving this week and second thought and focusing all her efforts for the next month.

What does that tell you as a voter and supporter.... do what you can but i dont really need or want you.

If i were her I would be thanking all my hard working supporters for what they have done and continue to do instead of pretending like they dont matter.

Clinton expected to have the nomination tied up by now. She has changed her approach several times - from experience - to agent of change - to maternal - etc. She has used Bill as her pitbull and when that didn't work - she changed campaign managers. Obama has remained consistant throughout and that is why he is succeeding.

Getting dumped by Clinton is the best thing possible. This way she will get to a lifeboat before the Titanic goes down and not have the stench of LOSING the nomination that Maggie will now where.

I don't see why everyone is making such a big deal about this. Senator McCain has changed his staff many times, and look where he is now? It's just another unimportant detail that the media is trying to criticize Clinton for.

I believe whatever Hillary says about this. We all know she is always truthful in all of her campaign news releases.

Would it hurt her among Latino voters? Was this some sort of slick set-up, to get out the fact she has Latino's working in her campaign? Seriously, we didn't even know the woman was a Latino and may of us don't even care anyway.

I'm a Latino myself. You think I care if she has Latino's or not? Think I care if she downgraded or replaced one of them? This smells like a rat with the press playing right along. I hope others can see this for what it is - if it is what I suspect it is.

Shame on the press for playing shameless games. Her name is Clinton. She has the Clinton machine. She doesn't need anymore help than that.

Message to the press: you're suppose to report the news. Your job isn't to manufacture news or manipulate a headline in favor of or to disadvantage someone.

Shameless.
