Just a short diary.
The Huffington Post has an article up saying Obama's team is courting Patti Solis Doyle for a senior White House post.
These officials say Patti Solis Doyle is considering taking the job, although she worries about the effect it would have on her two young children. She was contacted about possibly becoming Cabinet secretary, a job that involves coordinating the efforts of the White House and cabinet-level agencies.
Question - what is the Obama campaign's fascination with Patti Solis Doyle? I'm not trying to be difficult, I am really just curious. Because if I remember correctly, Hillary booted her when she overspent the funds for her campaign, acting as if everything would be over by Super Tuesday. Then I remember Obama's team hiring (or just contacting?) her after he won the nomination.
Really now, what does she bring the Obama team that others don't? The only thing I remember was that she had roots in the Latino community. Is she the only one?
The officials who described the developments did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to disclose them.
By the way, are these officials that are leaking this information in any way connected to the Obama campaign? Because if so, I wonder whatever happened to that famous leak-proof ship they were running? In any case, something tells me this has nothing to do with the Obama brain trust... Probably more from Clinton's camp if anything.
