I’ve talked to both Obama and Clinton campaign staffers tonight — and both acknowledge that tonight’s results were another amazing twist in an exhausting marathon battle between two compelling personalities in the Democratic party.
But serious Obama strategists say that the “big difference” in the Clinton operation was her campaign’s “ground game.” They said Patti Solis Doyle not only poorly organized the Clinton campaign in the early stages — but somewhat flamboyantly exposed their vulnerabilities, particularly in caucus states which Doyle ignored.
Everyone I spoke with tonight — on the Obama and Clinton team — about the campaign’s management said that newly appointed campaign director Maggie Williams pulled off Clinton’s seeming bounce back.
