Clinton Deputy Campaign Manager Departs


February 12th, 2008

In an e-mail message to staffers obtained by The Associated Press after Clinton lost the Virginia primary Tuesday, Mike Henry said he was stepping down to allow campaign manager Maggie Williams to build her own staff. Williams replaced Patti Solis Doyle during the weekend. Solis Doyle had recruited Henry to join the campaign last year.

“Out of respect for Maggie and her new leadership team I thought it was the best thing to do,” Henry wrote. “As someone who has managed campaigns, I share the unique understanding of the challenges that the campaign will face over the next several weeks. Our campaign needs to move quickly to build a new leadership team, support them and their decisions and make the necessary adjustments to achieve the winning outcome for which we have all worked so hard for over a year now.”

Obvious sign that change is happening and its happening in the Clinton campaign. Probably not a bad move but with that said correct me if I am wrong but I doubt the Deputy Campaign Manager was responsible for the idea of “inevitability” just as I doublt Solis Doyle was. For Clinton’s sake one would hope that this person left or was let go because of bad campaign decisions he made or a personal belief that it was time and not because of something arbitrary like he was loyal to Doyle or something. Time will tell.
