As readers of this blog know, I support Barack Obama, not Hillary Clinton, for the Democratic presidential nomination. Still, no matter how heated things have gotten, I've always had someone I consider a good friend (and fellow Arlingtonian) on the Clinton campaign. Now, he's leaving.
Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Adam Parkhomenko, 22, resigned this week, the latest Patti Solis Doyle loyalist to depart. Dep cam mgr Mike Henry and longtime online staffers Kevin Thurman and Crystal Patterson left last month in Doyle's wake.[...]
Parkhomenko and other staffers thrived under Doyle, who placed a premium on loyalty and camaraderie in the kingdom she coined, "Hillaryland."
It was a kingdom, which, today, seems like a distant memory. Sources say the fissures in Hillaryland that have erupted in recent weeks-- the infighting, finger pointing and leaks -- would have never existed under Doyle's tenure.
It's kind of sad, although honestly as an Obama supporter I can't say I'm too unhappy to see such a talented and hardworking guy as Adam leave the Clinton campaign. :) Anyway, bon voyage to Adam, I'm sure you're going to do great wherever you go and whatever you do.
