Hillary's Ousting Of Latina Manager Has Some Latinos Angered
So, basically keep Patti Solis Doyle, running the show because she is Latina, and never mind that the Clinton Camp is floundering? Read Senator Rev. Ruben Diaz's letter to Hillary; I don't understand the reasoning.

I think the problem is the combination of the timing (post-California, after Solis was used extensively in robocalls to Hispanic voters) and the sense that she's being scapegoated for failures when there's plenty of blame to spread around.
The Atlantic has a solid article on what went down behind the scenes: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200802u/patti-solis-doyle/
If you read The Atlantic article what you must conclude is that she shouldn't have been running the campaign after she mismanaged so much money on Clinton's Senate reelection campaign. I mean, I don't even remember who was running against her. They didn't need to spend $30 million in that campaign.
Also, if you don't bother to return telephone calls from VIPs and donors, what the heck are you doing? I don't care what color, race, or creed you are. If you're running my campaign and you screw up like that, you're fired. Period.
I definitely agree. But the deeper point that article makes is Clinton's Bush-like addiction to loyalty over competence -- something these VIPs and Super Delegates are surely aware of -- so it's understandable that her scapegoating Solis after using her to get Latin votes in California would piss some of her Latin supporters off.
