Former Clinton Campaign Manager Joins Obama Team by Adam Nagourney June 16, 2008:

...Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign manager until she was ousted in a staff shake up in February, will join Mr. Obama’s campaign as the chief of staff to the vice presidential candidate – whoever he (or she) will be, campaign officials said. Ms. Doyle will take the position before Mr. Obama announces his choice for a running-mate....

Later today, the campaign is set to announce the hiring of Stephanie Cutter, a longtime Democratic strategist who worked as Senator John Kerry’s communications director in 2004, as chief of staff to Mrs. Obama....She also will lead a war room to fight attacks against Mrs. Obama....

I also found this little bit interesting, from No Ordinary Candidates, No Typical Campaign by John Harwood, June 16 New York Times:

...Mr. McCain’s talent at close-quarters communication underlies his challenge to Mr. Obama to join him for 10 town-hall-style meetings...Aides to Mr. Obama’s campaign say he won’t duck the challenge completely, which alone suggests that voters may hear a fresh form of dialogue...Mr. Obama’s aides say he will seek to connect with voters and debunk the “just a speechmaker” rap against him, with intimate appearances in voters’ homes and workplaces....
