WITH NEW BLACK CAMPAIGN MANAGER, HILLARY PUTS HER “FIX IT PLAN” IN WRITING AND TELLS OBAMA TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

Hillary Rodham Clinton, struggling for the renewed momentum a win in Tuesday's Wisconsin primary would provide, reached out to working class families with a detailed economic plan while rival Barack Obama courted John Edwards in a bid to widen his lead in a tight Democratic presidential nominating race.


Sistah Maggie Williams, architect of Hillary's Economic Manifesto and the new Campaign Manager, is having Clinton's economic pamphlet distributed to voters at campaign events and posted online. The document outlines many of the ideas she talks about on the campaign trail each day. But by pulling them together, it resembles a populist manifesto — with Clinton championing the needs of working-class voters over corporate and business interests.

The 13-page blueprint details the former first lady's plan for fixing the economy, achieving universal health care, addressing the home foreclosure crisis and developing jobs for the middle class.

Things are getting shook up in Hillary's campagin and credit has to go to Maggie Williams. This Black woman has always been a straight shooter, who tells it like it is and doesn't care who's feelings she hurts. That include Hillary. Bravo Maggie, it's working! Tomorrow... Primary Election in Wisconsin, stay tuned.

I'LL SEE YO' "ALL HAT, NO CATTLE" TAIL IN TEXAS YOU HOPE-MONGER!


The Audacity Of Hillary Rodham Clinton

With Spanish music blaring, Sen. Hillary Clinton campaigned across South Texas yesterday with a more populist message, as her new campaign manager sought to reshape a campaign that has lost eight straight primaries in a week to a Black man short on specifics but long on hope and optimism.

Maggie Williams, African-American, female, and notorious "head cracker," is a confidante of Mrs. Clinton from when she was first lady. This sistah is now moving to assert her control following the departure last weekend of Latina campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle. Madge is running a daily conference on what ads to put up and expanding the inner circle with advisers from the old Clinton White House.

But the campaign has something of a shellshocked feel, as staffers privately chew over a blowup last week where internal frictions flared into the open. Clinton campaign operatives say it happened as top Clinton advisers gathered in Arlington, Va., campaign headquarters to preview a TV commercial. "Your ad doesn't work," strategist Mark Penn yelled at ad-maker Mandy Grunwald. "The execution is all wrong," he said, according to the operatives.

Black Congressional Members Now Rethinking Their Hillary Support!

"Oh, it's always the ad, never the message," Ms. Grunwald fired back, say the operatives. The clash got so heated that political director Guy Cecil left the room, saying, "I'm out of here."

Adding to the sense of drama, an aide to Sen. Barack Obama yesterday declared the Clinton campaign all but doomed. Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said that Mrs. Clinton can't become the Democratic nominee without winning every remaining contest in "blowout form." In a conference call with reporters, he said that "even the most creative math" won't get her there.

To disprove that, the Clinton team is relying on its new campaign manager, Ms. Williams, and her reshaping of the candidate's message to focus more on solutions for working-class people.

As part of that revamp, Sen. Clinton is getting tougher on Mr. Obama. "There's a big difference between me and my opponent," Mrs. Clinton told a mostly Hispanic crowd here in McAllen: "I am in the solutions business. My opponent is in the promises business." Meanwhile, she launched her first negative ad, airing one in Wisconsin that criticized Barack Obama for not agreeing to debate before that state's primary. The story continues...

Hillary Clinton's New Campaign Manager Maggie Williams: Suddenly In Politics, Black Is The New Black


African American Sista Goes Head Up With Brotha Barack

"She ain't afraid to crack heads" is the headline. But it's actually incomplete. What the headline should say is She's A Black Woman That Ain't Afraid To Crack Heads."

Why is this distinction so important? Because In Camp Billary's inner circle, Maggie Williams is renowned as the ultimate Hillary loyalist, fierce and unwavering in her devotion for nearly 25 years. As the First Lady's chief of staff, her office was in the West Wing, right next to Hillary's.

Her title gave away the extent of her clout: assistant to the President as well as Hillary's gatekeeper and chief enforcer.

Even detractors agree with her admirers that Williams would go to the mat for Hillary, unlike Patti Solis Doyle, the Latina that just threw in the towel... or was kicked to the curb.

Which is the only salvo that Hillary has in her attempt to deny the historic, unprecedented movement we know as Barack Hussein Obama. A Kansas City native, Williams, 53, was a central player in the Clinton damage-control machine during the White House years.

In 1995, a uniformed Secret Service officer swore under oath he saw her leave White House lawyer and Hillary confidant Vince Foster's office carrying documents after Foster committed suicide. Williams denied it.

She ran up more than $100,000 in legal bills defending Hillary in various investigations.

A former aide to Reps. Morris Udall of Arizona and Robert Torricelli (later senator) of New Jersey, Williams' ties to Hillary date to when they both were at the Children's Defense Fund in the 1980s. After the Clintons left the White House, Williams was named president of Fenton Communications, a leading public relations and consulting firm.

When Bill and Hillary Clinton made remarks before the South Carolina primary that offended African-Americans, the campaign put her on the airwaves to try to quell the uproar. "She's never run a political campaign, but she has run a staff and isn't afraid to crack heads," a Democratic booster said.

Put her up against Michelle Obama, however, and I think the Harvard trained lioness can hold her own, particularly when her man and the father of her two daughters have so much riding on this. Never before have African Americans been engulfed in such high stakes politics. The bottom line is we win either way, while my GOP party sits on the sidelines because we don't have a dog in this fight.

And with rumors of Al Gore endorsing Obama, this party is on and popping family. Film at 11:00.
