Hillary Clinton adds top digital talent to campaign-in-waiting

Hillary Rodham Clinton has added some of the Democratic Party's most experienced digital strategists to her team of political advisers as she gets ready to launch her 2016 presidential campaign.

Teddy Goff, the digital director of President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, is advising the Clinton campaign-in-waiting on its digital strategy, while longtime Clinton aide Katie Dowd is on board to be the campaign's digital director with Jenna Lowenstein as her deputy, according to several Democrats with knowledge of the moves.

Andrew Bleeker, a digital marketing guru and veteran of Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns, also could join the Clinton campaign in an advisory role, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the Clinton team's staffing decisions.

Goff is expected to serve as a top adviser for digital strategy to the Clinton campaign, which would enable him to continue running his private business. Dowd, who is widely respected in the Clinton orbit as a skilled manager and has a personal relationship with the former secretary of state, will be on staff overseeing the campaign's day-to-day digital operations. And Lowenstein, who has been vice president of digital at Emily's List, one of the outside groups laying the groundwork for Clinton's candidacy, would join the staff as deputy digital director.

1. Hillary haters to chime in 3....2.....1 n/t

[OKNancy]

2. ... but, she isn't going to run

say some. I really can't believe a handful really believe that.

3. LOL- while these posters also bring lists of articles which supports them and why I should hate her.

4. Oh Sure, If Hillary actually knew how to TYPE..

She wouldn't have to spend all that money on a Digital Staff to do it for her!!!
Do we really trust Hillary as President if she can't TYPE!!
I ask you..


..(purely snarkasm)

Hillary Rodham Clinton 2016 & beyond

7. Well, you know she probably can't cook either. Cooking is a requirement to be Prez ya know!

[misterhighwasted]

9. Guess that leaves Bill to be in the kitchen baking up some cookies

Isn't that what the GOP expected First Lady Hillary to do?
Shut up & stand by yer maaaan..

[Thinkingabout]

5. Yes she is gathering her forces, getting ready for real time, I am with her.

I would bet she can also cook and clean but has someone to do this for her. Is this reason to think she should not run for the presidency, hell no.

6. You wonder how long before she has more people working on the not yet declared campaign than

was usual for primary campaigns.

It seems that she is getting many of the Obama team -- in addition to people who have been with her for decades. Though not a Clinton fan, I can't help but think that by having such a strong team behind her, she should be able to handle problems as they surface better than most have in the past.

8. The hate machine has already begun its venom, dusting up from the time of Pres Bill C, and

her presidential campaign in 2008 with additions as SOS, and thereon. Knives have been sharpened from all sides, including, the left side, exhibit "C" - the DU.

[misterhighwasted]

10. Oh yes. She knows everyone of the Hard Right haters & their game.

She assembled her team so tightly because she has dealt with them since she was First Lady.
Its not really a very big circle of who's stabbing you & who is covering your ass. In that upper echelon, they all know each other's history & method.

I think she intends to make her vision for changing America into a functioning society again, her goals & her push for civil & equal rights, the main Speak of her campaign.
And she wants to address the Nation on her agenda & not allow the GOP haters to drag her into a useless pissin match.
I believe her campaign is being built solid as steel.

12. This prevents other candidates from hiring them.

It's an old corporate trick used by Hewlett-Packard, as well as others.
It hinders the competition from getting an edge.

11. Clinton to make announcement next Wednesday!!

These are the final chess pieces to put in place for the campaign, the digital team.

Unfortunately, they will all be forced to use the same server, Hillary's private server!!



Oh, com' on, it's a joke folks!!!!

13. More inevitability........
