The Clinton's are panicking, as they should be. But this is priceless when it comes to possible shake-ups within the campaign.
Campaign officials and a source close to both Clintons flatly denied the head-rolling buzz. "Can this change by the end of the week? Yes," the source said. "But at this point, everyone's on solid footing."
Are people on solid footing when wondering that their job could be gone by the end of the week? Only in Clinton-speak, I'd guess. And Bill isn't pleased:
Alarmed by his wife's slide in the polls and disarray within her backbiting campaign, a beside-himself Bill Clinton has leaped atop the barricades and is furiously plotting a cure - or coup.
Great, just what we need, Hillary in the White House with an upset Bill plotting a coup.
Grain of salt - Hillary's people will denounce this story and some of it could be a hit based upon other Dems looking to cause her even more trouble. But usually when we read things like this, some people do end up walking. And shaking up her staff a few weeks out from the real primary voting will only make it worse. If there's something to this, I'd look for people to be added with few if any leaving, even if they have to pay someone to just hang around. They do not want the headlines that go with a staff shake-up at this point.
And even if they do that, they wil try to cover it up. Welcome back to the Clinton years.
