The staffers are turning to drink:
After 13 months of dawn-to-dark seven-day weeks, the staff is exhausted. Some have taken to going home early — 9 p.m. — turning off their BlackBerrys, and polishing off bottles of wine, several senior staff members said.
Some advisers have been heard yelling at close friends and colleagues. In a much-reported incident, Mr. Penn and the campaign advertising chief, Mandy Grunwald, had a screaming match over strategy recently that prompted another senior aide, Guy Cecil, to leave the room. “I have work to do — you’re acting like kids,” Mr. Cecil said, according to three people in the room.
This was precious from Susan Thomases:
"This is no woe-is-me woman."
Ooookaaay. Has Thomases been in a coma for the past two months? But there’s the usual Clinton brazenness as well. Her entire message since Iowa has been a constant cooptation of Obama’s message – yet he‘s the plagiarist? And she and her husband clearly played the racial card – and yet Obama is using Karl Rove tactics? If I worked for her, I would have hit the Cabernet hard a while ago.
