Clinton Resigns

The Atlantic:

Jessica O'Connell, the national director of operations, responsible for personnel management, staff deployment and headquarters operations, has decided to step down. She joins a raft of Patti Solis Doyle loyalists, ranging from wonderkind Adam Parkhomenko to deputy manager Mike Henry, who have departed in recent weeks.

Here is O'Connell's resignation letter.

I am writing to share with you that I will be leaving the campaign effective Friday, March 21. I remain awed by the Senator's energy, passion, leadership on the issues, and courage. Senator Clinton will continue to have my full support and admiration. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have worked directly with so many dedicated and talented colleagues in Virginia and throughout the country. No matter what your role, whether you have been with the campaign for days or from the beginning, let there be no doubt that you are making history and helping to change the world.

It must be difficult for Hillary's Campaign workers to watch their candidate unmask herself as the pandering opportunist and political manipulator that she is.

The entire decrepid campaign should pack it in and get off the stage. They are a divisive distraction. I can't stand the Clintons and their corruption. They are too old and do not understand today's place for America in the world. Reject the deadwood.

And what LIE was she caught promulgating on Hillary's behalf?
Isn't that why people quit this campaign these days?

God you Obama supporters are pathetic. This is an operations manager, someone who handles logistics. This has been a very tiring campaign and she probably wants to move on, or spend some time with her family. Yet, you dolts just continue to attack with the vile and hatred of that found in Hitlers cabinet. You all need to stop this obsession and get a life.

Seems like Huff Poo just posts negative stories about Hillary like Daily Kos.

Yeah! But Hillary camp keeps providing them the material. Her campaign has been just one fuckup after another. She should fire that fat guy running her campaign.

The rats are jumping ship for good reason. She's finished and most of them know it. The rest are still there purely for their own self interests. There's still a little bit of gravy left to be scraped off the bottom of the boat.

I will never vote for Hillary Clinton!
If some how the Clintons win the nomination, I will not vote!
And, might even leave the Democratic Party.

I can envision it as I sit here.

After Sen. Obama's superb speech defining himself and his beliefs and now Ms. O'Connell hopping out the back of the plane parachute in hand, the scene at the Clinton Campaign Headquarters i: Hillary "Chicken Little" Rodham Clinton, running back and forth screaming.­.. The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling.

And Mrs. Clinton, for you it is.

Superb? He just confirmed he is a liar. He said he did not know about his pastor spewing hate and today he said he did know. I heard the hate his pastor spewed and it was offensive. Hillary is my first choice followed by McCain. I will not drink the Obama Kool-Aide.

The Repugs have given Hillary over 100,000 Votes. why are the Repugs working so hard to get Hillary the Nomination?

Is it because the Repugs think they can put Hillary and bill in Jail? Read the below link that have been posted on Huffpost before.

That is some pretty damning material, but there is much more than that. They just keep slipping the punches!

I doubt it. It appears to be more a matter of someone connected to the losing phase of the campaign.

You mean, the whole campaign? Obama's got this thing clinched, unless he does something horribly wrong. Mark Penn's Republicanesque incompetence is what lost it for Clinton, and he should have been fired before New Hampshire. It's too late, though. You're not going to win.

No, AnninCA, I mean:

"Jessica O'Connell, the national director of operations, responsible for personnel management, staff deployment and headquarters operations, has decided to step down. She joins a raft of Patti Solis Doyle loyalists, ranging from wonderkind Adam Parkhomenko to deputy manager Mike Henry, who have departed in recent weeks.:

Ship baling out = all the campaign workers who've "jumped ship".

sinking rat = she who would be the next "Decider". One who's worse than GWB.

Of course, now that all the imbeciles who couldn't recognize a brilliant speech if each individual word were explained to them succeed in derailing Mr. Obama's campaign, HRC may indeed become the candidate. Then we'll be in real trouble because she's not just the republican-lite I knew her to be, she's a right-wing xstian cultist. Don't believe me? Read all about her "bible study" group's mission for yourself:

Freddy334, you're struggling man . . . . I actually have pity for you and your obvious anger regarding your inability to get people to see what a great Candidate Hillary (not) is over Obama. "Toast" is the mantra at Hillary HQ unfortunately.

Relax . . . . take a deep, cleansing breath . . . . it won't hurt, I swear it won't. When Obama places his hand on the Bible and takes the Oath of Office, your world (along with Hillary's) will change for the better!

Hey Freddy, you wanna talk nazis? Read all about the ultra-right-wing "bible study" group Ms. C has been involved with since 1993. The story is right here on HuffPo and apparently has been written up in major publications several times over the years. Read this and get back to me:
