Tanden signs on



Hillary Clinton's former policy director, Neera Tanden, will start next week in Chicago as Barack Obama's Director of Domestic Policy, reporting to policy director Heather Higginbottom, a source familiar with the plans said.

Tanden is the most senior Clinton loyalist to join Obama, a close, longtime aide whose move is not seen in Hillaryland as a defection -- as some saw the early decision of departed campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle -- but as a natural element of the shift to the general election.

She was a key architect of, among other things, Clinton's healthcare plan, whose more aggressive push for universal coverage through mandates became was probably the key domestic policy difference between the Democrats.

I'm not sure who that is but it is probably wise to intertwine the campaigns like he has been doing.

What i have found that almost seems surreal, is how these clinton people are now totally behind obama. In the last two days i saw Hillary, Ed Rendall, and Terry McAlluife (sp?) all on news programs defending obama against attacks and talking about how great he is. For the longest time i though of those people as the enemy but they are suddenly our allies. Of course i knew it would happen but it is just one of those things you were never prepared to see.
