Patti Solis Doyle
The Obama camp hired former Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle to be "the chief of staff to the vice presidential candidate" today.
Some are reading this to mean that Clinton is tight for VP because she and Solis Doyle are "long time friends," but I tend to fall into the second camp, because if you'll remember, Clinton and Solis Doyle haven't spoken since she (took the blame and) was fired back in February.
The Clinton camp is not happy. Try this one from an unnamed Clinton fundraiser,
(Note: They're still entirely blaming Solis Doyle.)

"You don't hire Patti Solis Doyle for her operational expertise," said the bundler. "You don't do that. This is someone who failed dramatically at her job. You only bring her on to fuck someone else."

Is it just my imagination, or is the Democratic party (DNC) going through a period of tectonic change? Things like this give me the very distinct impression that the Obama team is working to clear the decks of hardline Clintonians. Everyone is welcome on the ship SS Obama, but you better get on board... or you may be tossed overboard.
Patti, who was tossed off the SS Hillary, seems to have hitched her dingy to a new ship. (OK. I'll stop with the tortured nautical metaphors.)
I wonder how all this will shake up with the well-heeled corporate and limo types?

That's the message they're trying to send, and they do have support among many of the old lions in the House and Senate, the leadership, and many in the DNC.
As Chuck Todd pointed out last week, the Clinton grip on the Democrats was slipping even before this primary.
