Clinton Dropping Staff?

Submitted by politicalWinters on Mon, 06/02/2008 - 9:14am.

  The Politico says advance staff for Hillary Clinton's campaign are being told their last day is tomorrow - Tuesday.

  Quote: The advance staffers -- most of them now in Puerto Rico, South Dakota, and Montana -- are being given the options of going to New York for a final day Tuesday, or going home, the aides said. The move is a sign that the campaign is beginning to shed -- at least -- some of its staff. The advance staff is responsible for arranging the candidate's events around the country.
