From City View's Civic Skinny...
Hillary Clinton’s deputy state director and caucus manager Angelique Pirozzi has left the Iowa effort to pursue “other opportunities,” Skinny hears. Pirozzi’s departure comes on the heels of the campaign’s former state director JoDee Winterhof getting demoted in favor of Teresa Vilmain, who consulted for Tom Vilsack’s short-lived presidential campaign. Clinton people tell Skinny that at least a half dozen field organizers — the supposedly smiling faces of the campaign — have also left recently. Skinny isn’t sure what to make of the revolving door.Winterhof's change in job title puzzled me. Now more people are moving around and leaving will surely cause a few bumps in the road for the campaign in Iowa. The campaign staff that has been on the ground has built key relationships and it will take a new person to establish those relationships again.
To win the Iowa caucuses you must have a strong organization and then hope to get hot at the end. These personal changes can't help Clinton's organization in Iowa in the short term.

Acrimonious people create unstable work environment.
The outsider thinks Obama's people out hussle HRC's 4-1.
I have to also add that Joe Biden's Iowa people might be the nicest in either party. They are really nice kids.
She voted for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment. Is she trying to win the Republican nomination?
Mr. Sporer, all the field organizers for the Dem candidates are nice kids, in my experience.
I don't know what the deal is internally in the Clinton campaign, but I would agree that the Obama people outhustle Hillary's people. The problem for Obama is that many undecided voters have already written him off as too inexperienced.
