Just when you thought everyone had moved on... former advisers to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are in a tizzy over an upcoming piece in the Atlantic Monthly that chronicles the inner workings of the now-defunct campaign. Of particular concern are nearly 200 internal memos that the author, Josh Green, obtained -- 130 or so of which he plans to scan in and post online. When the piece is published sometime next week, readers will be able to scroll through the memos, from senior strategists such as Mark Penn, Harold Ickes and Geoff Garin, and see what exactly was going on inside the infamously fractured Clinton organization. That has some former team members in a panic. And we thought the Abramoff e-mails were fun....H/T to Andrew

What do you mean "There will be links" ?
I am hoping they will be shown off for the dirty campaign they ran but I am afraid there might be some damaging comments on Obama in there such as "He is not ready" or BS like that.
Knowing the press they would focus on that more.
That said, that would explain why the Clinton divided storyline came back this week. I could not quite figure out why ... unless the Clintons unleashed the pressure now to guarantee themselves a spot at the convention they may not have gotten once those memos get out ...
Things that make you go hmmmmmm ...
I'm going to burn in Democratic Unity hell for saying this buuut......
Pass the popcorn.
So, the Atlantic bloggers have to read te Washington Post blog to find out what's going on to appear in The Atlantic?
Dude. Cut me some slack. I live in New York. My office is my bedroom.
Do you need some slack cut because you are blogging in your underwear ?
damn, too bad joshua didn't turn that investigative zeal to the millions of missing white house emails...
oh, wait. the clintons must be destroyed. got it.
Definitely the McCain camp is just dying for a look hoping for some great quotes. Hope the DNC and the Obama campaign are ready.
Good job ET ! Hope you get points on the McCain website for your participation.
Ugh! This must be killing the Clintons, who are obviously holding out hope for 2012 or even 2016.
"Do you need some slack cut because you are blogging in your underwear ?"
Uhm, no. Of course not...
Maybe you misunderstood benjamin, but I wasn't saying that as a McCain troll, more as a concerned Democrat voting for Obama who can see the obvious. Of course I could have misunderstood your comment and if so I apologize.

Sorry for the double post - my computer when weird.
No I am the one who misunderstood you.
As you saw in my first comment, I have the same concern although I doubt that an internal memo by Mark Penn would be a game changer. There is not much they have not said about Obama publicly anyway so ... I am pretty sure it will be a bigger headache for them than for us but I still agree with your tinge of concern.
I know it is horrible but I really hope there will be a hint of the racial strategy they employed in those memos. I am tired of trying to convince people of the obvious.
This stuff should be pretty tasty. Hopefully the Obama campaign will leave the comments to the pundits, and stay focused on McCain.
Yesssssssssssss.
I won't be reading it. I don't give a damn about the Clinton campaign and I would prefer to never read another word about Mark Penn.
To the extent that she wanted to be the VP pick, she can kiss that goodbye now...
