| | Good Wednesday morning. Quinnipiac – it's what's for breakfast -- Obama leads in three big swings:
Pennsylvania – Obama 52, McCain 40 percent
Ohio -- Obama 48, McCain 42
Florida -- Obama 47, McCain 43
AP's Jim Kuhnhenn and Beth Fouhy: 'Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham
Clinton plan to meet with some of her top contributors next week in an
effort to calm donors who remain frustrated with Obama's presidential
campaign. The meeting is set for June 26 at the Mayflower Hotel ... The
former first lady will introduce Obama to her financial backers.'
And expect to see Senator Clinton in D.C. as early as today.
D'OH: The Hill has a headline today saying, 'Clinton takes month off.'
High-profile Clinton loyalist LANNY DAVIS tells us the Obama campaign's
appointment of PATTI SOLIS DOYLE, Hillary Clinton's former campaign
manager, could mean good things for Hillary: 'Senator Obama's decision
to select Patti in a major role in the general election as chief of
staff to the vice presidential candidate is indicative that he takes
seriously the need to integrate Hillary loyalists into his campaign as
Hillary takes seriously encouraging her loyalists to support Senator
Obama. Indeed, I still believe that the strongest ticket would be for
Senator Clinton to be Vice Presidential candidate. ... So it could be
that Patti Solis Doyle will return to the role in which she has the
most experience - chief of staff for her long-time friend and political
mentor, Hillary Rodham Clinton. And if someone else gets Senator
Obama's nod, Patti will do a great job for him or her.'
BREAKING: On Friday, Senator Obama will host an economic discussion with Democratic governors in Chicago.
