The former top aide to Hillary Clinton will join the campaign of Barack Obama, serving as the point person on the vice presidential candidate.
Patti Solis Doyle, edged out as the Clinton campaign manager when things were going bad, will serve as chief of staff to Obama's running mate.
In addition, the campaign has hired Democratic strategist Stephanie Cutter to work as chief of staff for Michelle Obama. Her first order of business will be to buff and polish the image of the candidate's wife, who has been the target of sharp attacks in recent weeks.
In a reorganization plan announced by the campaign this afternoon, several new hires will join the campaign and several longstanding staff members will take on new duties.
Team Obama is adding on "so that we can reach even more Americans," campaign manager David Plouffe said.
Jen O'Malley Dillon, who formerly served as Iowa state director for John Edwards, will direct the campaign in the battleground states.
Temo Figueroa, who was Obama's national field director, will run the effort to reach Latino voters.
Mike Strautmanis, the legislative director in Obama's Senate office, is now officially a "senior advisor."

Congradulation, Mrs. Doyle and welcome to "Team Obama." Now, that the mighty team has assembled, it is time to take down the Bush dynasty.

When considering voting for John McCain, remember some pigs will represent the pork manufacturers for a few bucks.

She will fit right in the with the leftist liberal corrupt BHO. He has none absolutely nothing but a record of doing what is politically expedient. BHO is a product of “Old Line Chicago Politics”. :”Change”:- into what? . Judge a man by his actions not his words
