CLINTON CAMPAIGN MANAGER SHOWN THE DOOR
Folks are beginning to ask the improbable question: is Hillary Clinton's Democratic presidential nominee campaign starting to crack?
First came her admission last week that she loaned her Democratic campaign $5 million. Now, Clinton has replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, naming longtime aide Maggie Williams to the top job.
"I have been proud to manage this campaign and prouder still to call Hillary my friend for more than 16 years," Solis Doyle wrote. "Maggie is a remarkable person and I am confident that she will do a fabulous job."
The move comes a day after rival Barack Obama swept contests in Washington state, Nebraska, Louisiana, but before he won in Maine as well.
Solis Doyle said she will serve as a senior adviser to Clinton and the campaign, and travel with Clinton from time to time. Ms. Williams will begin assuming the duties of campaign manager this week.
In a statement, Hillary Clinton praised Solis Doyle and said she looked forward to her continued advice in the coming months.
"Patti Solis Doyle has done an extraordinary job in getting us to this point -- within reach of the nomination -- and I am enormously grateful for her friendship and her outstanding work," Clinton said. "And, as Patti has said, this already has been the longest presidential campaign in history and one that has required enormous sacrifices of everyone and our families."
