Obama's Team Not Blackballing Clinton Campaign Staffers

08 Jul 2008 04:01 pm

With the news today that the Obama campaign has signed former Clinton adviser Dana Singiser to help run their women's outreach program, I thought it would be interesting to list who else from Clinton's campaign has taken a job with Obama.

There's Patti Solis Doyle, the one-time Clinton campaign manager, but she's sort of an exception. Solis Doyle started 7/1 as chief of staff to the vice presidential campaign.

It's been reported that Neera Tanden, Clinton's policy director, is now on board, but so is her economics deputy, Brian Deese.

Isaac Baker from the press shop is helping with regional communications in Ohio.

Sarah Hurwitz, a Clinton speechwriter, is now helping Obama, according to Lynn Sweet.

Clinton associates expect -- or hope -- that state directors Nick Clemons, Robby Mook and Ace Smith will be brought on board the Obama campaign in some capacity.
