Clinton Campaign Manager Advised Her People to Tongues on Obama Speech


March 19th, 2008

Marc Ambinder reports the following:

Note that the Clinton campaign has said word ZERO about the Wright story. I’m told that campaign manager Maggie Williams issued an edict to staff members and surrogates and top fundraisers, urging them to hold their tongues. That the Clinton campaign was able to keep to this discipline may turn out to be the most consequential tactial move they’ve made in months. If anyone associated with the campaign had waded into the Wright affair, it would have been politicized in a way that probably would have hurt Clinton and not Obama.

Interesting little tidbit and Ambinder is 100% right that Clinton has and will benefit heavily if they can keep the dogs at bay.

Also on the Clinton vs. Obama front and the latest developments Ambinder has some other interesting thoughts so be sure to check out his blog post linked above.
