NY Post: New York-D.C. Feud Rattles Clinton Campaign

NEW YORK-D.C. FEUD RATTLES CLINTON CAMPAIGN

May 28, 2007 -- 'SERIOUS tensions" exist between U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's Washington-based presidential campaign staff and those working on her campaign in New York, Democratic insiders say.

"Her New York crew is fighting like hell with her D.C. folks, and it's worse than the normal stuff, real serious tensions," said a Democratic Party source. "The New York folks are the ones who got her elected to begin with. They've done it and know what to do. The D.C. folks are the 'geniuses' who do 'national elections' and think everyone here is a rube.

"The Washington types hold meeting after meeting and then send a group of fatheaded 27-year-olds to do events in New York, and they wind up fighting with her staff here," continued the source, who is in day-to-day contact with party activities.

The source said the tensions exploded at Clinton's endorsement event with Gov. Spitzer and other high-ranking Democrats earlier in the month at the Capitol. "The New York locals were incensed that so many of these outsider kids were sent in from Washington and they were trying to run the event and they couldn't even make a contribution to it."

Meanwhile, the source said many New York Democrats believe Clinton "isn't doing so well out there, that she may not have what it takes to become president.

"When you're out talking to real Democrats in the field, you hear them say, 'She has no pulse. Just polls.' Did you see how she voted on the Iraq resolution? . . . She waited to see how Obama voted before she did. So calculated even on such a core issue," the source said....

I guess Hillary and Murdoch arent so close after all

The DC types are always resented on the local level. They can be pretty arrogant generally speaking.

Every time somebody posts something from the NY Post I wish I could bring Dorothy Schiff back from the dead. It is so sad what's become of that newspaper.

When it was the great liberal newspaper? It breaks my heart to think of it.

going back to its founding by Alexander Hamilton. Heartbreaking, indeed.

it's easy to see why misery loves company.
