Clinton Did Not ‘Jilt’ YearlyKos

– reporting from YearlyKos –
TM is serving as a volunteer to the advisory committee to the convention’s leadership forum.
After Dean spoke last night, it was announced that Clinton would not be doing
the so called breakout sesssions after the Presidential forum, which will allow YearlyKos attendees to meet the candidates personally. People were understandably furious when it was announced and a diary was quickly posted with the heading: YK ‘07: Effing Hillary
Jilts Kossacks! The outrage would be understandable except that it’s not
true.
Gina, the executive director of YK, explains.
Yearlykos wholeheartedly disagrees with the sentiments expressed in the diary
entitled “Effing Hillary Jilts Kossacks.” There was a miscommunication
between Yearlykos and Senator Clinton’s Campaign, which was never under
the impression that Senator Clinton would be attending the breakout session
due to a scheduling conflict. We regret due to this miscommunication, the
announcement was made so belatedly. We are ecstatic she will be attending
the forum and that Anne Lewis will be representing her in the breakout session.
Make sure you read
her whole post.
Ann Lewis will represent Clinton and be in the breakout session to answer questions.
There is no way
Clinton or any of the Democratic candidates would “jilt” YearlyKos, which has now been explained. This was a obviously a communications snafu, which can happen to anyone with an event this huge. It’s unfortunate, but Clinton will be there for the very important Presidential forum that will allow everyone to hear what she has to say in person. Camp Clinton would never “jilt” this community. If you know Peter Daou, her internets director, you get it.
