Hi John,
I am sure you have lot and lots of downtime these days to talk to
reporters, and so this question no doubt is well-timed.
But can you offer any wisdom on whether this contretemps between Messina
and Brock tells us anything about the future of the other Obama alums who
have found places, or are seeking them, in Greater Clintonland?
To put the question more directly--is this blow up over Media Matters going
to make it harder for the Clinton folks to bring in and use effectively the
best of the Obama alums?
Seems you are among the few people widely respected in both camps. So your
opinion would count for a lot.
thank you,
Nick
