"More Clinton staffers to join Obama campaign staff
The shift of campaign staffers from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama is continuing.
Patti Solis Doyle, Clinton's former campaign manager, started her job last week as chief of staff to Obama's yet-to-be-named vice presidential pick. And Neera Tanden, Clinton's policy chief, is joining the Obama campaign as the head of domestic policy.
Judging by the positions the Clintonistas are taking, it looks like SHE WILL be the VeeP, no?
The question is, will it matter?

Now the presumptive Democratic nominee hopes to snag John Podesta, Bill Clinton's former White House chief of staff and founding head of the Center for American Progress. According to several Obama sources, the campaign wants Podesta to run the transition operation if Obama wins in November.
Podesta kept a low profile during the primary season, although he was a staunch Clinton supporter. He is one of the most seasoned Democratic operatives in Washington. Before his White House years, he served as a staff counsel in the Senate, and one of his bosses was then-Senator Tom Daschle, now a key member of Obama's inner circle.
Other former Clinton advisers making the shift: Gene Sperling, former White House economic adviser; Stuart Eizenstat, trade specialist and former European Union ambassador; and Madeleine Albright, former secretary of state
