Working that press staff

If the Hillary Clinton campaign is mailing out every press release they send via e-mail, there’s a forest disappearing somewhere.
Just take the last four days.
Friday started off with Hillary Clinton pledging to protect college students and their families from predatory college loans. At a college in South Carolina, she was calling for a Bill of Rights for student borrowers. That was at 9:26 a.m.
Just before noon there was a release announcing an event in Rochester, N.Y., at 2 p.m.—the same day.
If you read it quickly, you wondered how she was going to time warp up from South Carolina in time, but then you realize it would be campaign representatives discussing “growing plans for the Rochester area.”
Around dinner time Friday, there was a release touting a similar event in Rockland yesterday.
That one got repeated Saturday morning, followed by word of a house party later in the day on Long Island where women could get their questions about Clinton answered. The event was sponsored by the campaign’s “Ambassadors for Hillary” program, which they say has about 1,600 women involved in lining up support for her candidacy.
If Saturday was an easy day for the press office, they made up for it yesterday with five releases. There were two about the Haverstraw event and another about an event in Syracuse today. There was one celebrating Clinton’s 28 percent lead over Barack Obama in a USA Today/Gallup poll in New York and a statement from Kathleen Kennedy Townsend differing with Caroline Kennedy and Sen. Ted Kennedy and announcing her support for Clinton.
There have been two releases e-mailed before noon today, so it’s looking like a busy one in the Clinton press room.
