Hillary hires new Campaign manager

[skylark]

I personally think it is probably too late to change the momentum towards Obama. And from this article and others I've read, it doesn't sound like this was a change that will really change the campaign since Maggie Williams has been taking the lead on campaign advising since Clinton's Iowa loss.

As an Obama supporter, and also a fairly young democrat, I can't remember a time when I felt my own political beliefs so validated by a nationwide political movement. I was never that into Gore or Kerry (I just knew they were more attractive than the alternative), and I was a republican pre-teen and teenager during the Clinton years. It is kind of weird to find my #1 choice candidate that I believe in ... in the lead!

skylark, peas in a pod you and I are.

I think it's pretty foolish for the Clinton campaign to do a "shakeup." It's not the strategists behind the scenes... it's the candidate herself that is the cause for the losses. She's polarizing. There's nothing she can do about that. The Clintons have a history they cannot run from. I've seen her on several media outlets attempting to soften her image, but those predisposed to disliking her will not be swayed, I fear.
