Yup Billary looks to be in big trouble and now the New York papers are going after her for replacing Solis Doyle. No matter how her campaign wants to spin it Doyle is getting blamed for Hillary's failures. Hillary should not have been so arrogant telling everyone Solis Doyle was Latina to get votes then canned her.
NY Hispanics Question Clinton Aide Exit..Associated Press (AP) - Two New York Hispanic leaders said they would be upset if Hillary Rodham Clinton's Hispanic campaign manager was replaced because of primary losses they believe should be blamed on former President Bill Clinton and others. Patti Solis Doyle, whose parents were Mexican immigrants, stepped down as Clinton's campaign manager this weekend as Clinton was losing five Democratic contests to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Clinton has said Doyle's decision was a personal response to a grueling campaign, not about job performance. She added that Solis Doyle would remain a senior adviser and that her campaign needed to add more staff.
In a letter to Clinton dated Monday and obtained by The Associated Press, State Sen. Ruben Diaz Jr. and Assemblyman Joseph Peralta, both New York City Democrats, wrote that they are inclined to believe the explanation, but `it will be very troubling to many if somehow we later find that she left her post under pressure because of the recent primary losses your campaign suffered."
The lawmakers credited Solis Doyle with helping build Hispanic support for Clinton and wrote that they hoped she was not "the one to take the blame and resign from her post instead of others involved with your campaign, including former President Clinton, who have caused serious problems and embarrassing situations for your campaign."
Bill Clinton was criticized when he suggested Obama's victory in South Carolina was a racial one, like the Rev. Jesse Jackson's there in Obama won with an overwhelming share of the South Carolina black vote. After the criticism of that and other remarks he made about Obama, the former president said he would stick to promoting his wife, rather than defending her.
Even the Wall STreet Journal is reminding people of the pardons of Bill Clinton. This is very very scary that he would free terrorists.

Obama wins WA
The WSJ would rather the Republican run against Obama, because they'll decimate Obama far more easily. The conservatives call Hillary "less bad" than him, therefore harder to defeat.
They'll decimate Obama but they'll decimate Hillary too. Either Democratic nominee is totally defeatable by John McCain. It is his race to lose. All this talk about Republicans staying home rather than voting for McCain, give me a break, come November they'll back their boy.
