Mandy Grunwald to Join Clinton Team

[brooklynite]

New York Times:

Mandy Grunwald, an adviser to the Clintons for over two decades and a top strategist to Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, is expected to serve as a senior adviser for communications to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s all-but-certain presidential bid.

Ms. Grunwald will advise Mrs. Clinton on strategy and make some of the television ads along with Jim Margolis, whose firm, GMMB, is expected to take the lead on producing and buying the commercials. The pollster Joel Benenson is another senior adviser poised to work for Mrs. Clinton on her second White House run.

Ms. Grunwald, an original member of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign team who also worked on Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 White House bid, represents a nod to continuity after a stream of recent stories about Mrs. Clinton’s plans to hire advisers close to her one-time rival for the White House, President Obama. Mrs. Clinton’s camp has put out word that she will look to Mr. Margolis, Mr. Benenson, Robby Mook, John D. Podesta and Jennifer Palmieri — each of whom has worked or now works for Mr. Obama — to build her campaign. (Some of them, it should be noted, also have ties to the Clintons.)

1. Glad she will be apart of the Clinton team.

2. I think it is also the latest signal Warren will not run.

3. Your title should have read: "Warren top strategist to join Clinton campaign team"...

and the exploding heads would have been epic.

Thanks for posting.
