A Video Accompaniment to Larry’s Post (with another story about Ms. Doyle)
By SusanUnPC on June 16, 2008 at 11:40 PM in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton
This video, created by V, is intended by V to fit with Larry’s searing post tonight: “Obama’s Scorched Earth Policy [UPDATE].” And you do not want to miss the story about Patti Solis Doyle — named to Obama’s team today — told by Washington insider Steve Clemons at his blog, Washington Note in March 2008 (below the fold).
Now, for the story from Steve Clemons …
Patti Solis Doyle allegedly bred a lot of ill will inside the campaign among staffers. Many Clinton aides talked about how she had a wall erected between herself and the rest of the campaign staff in Iowa. Others who had been around for Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign talked about how Patti Solis Doyle had shut down the campaign office for two full days in order to watch the collected DVD set of “Grey’s Anatomy.” I’m not kidding.
– From Steve Clemons’ post, “Maggie Williams’ Three Rules.”
Well, while we’re there, let’s read those three rules that Doyle’s replacement enacted immediately:
1. Be respectful of your fellow staff members — generous in spirit, positive, constructive.
2. Return all phone calls — even if you have to return them at night when you know the other person won’t be in. Return every single one.
3. Feel empowered to share your ideas for the campaign. Send them to [me], Howard Wolfson, anyone. We want your ideas and want to hear from you.
What a difference Maggie Williams made.
