From Teresa to Eliot
Anderson had her hands full as Teresa Heinz Kerry's spokeswoman on that campaign and then, for a time, as the spokeswoman for the Democrats' legal operation in the tense run-up to the election. She also did time at NYC2012.
I met Anderson at a Starbucks in Fort Lauderdale, where she came to yell at me after she learned I was staking out the strip mall containing the Democrats office from another (slightly nicer) strip mall down the road. She wound up, grudgingly, giving me a tour, which wound up in this story.
All their hard-work, skill -- a number of partners at top New York firms, among many others, flew south to watch the polls -- and secrecy, of course, were in vain, as Bush wiped Kerry out in Florida. But at the time it felt vital.
Other trivia: Anderson is married to Bill Clinton's last White House press secretary, Jake Siewert.
A canny hire. Maybe she can recycle the same sock she used to plug up the mouth of the always-voluble, frequently embarrassing
"Mama T" on David Paterson!
it's good to see they are adding more professionals
I am familar with the professional work and attention to detail and strategy of Christine Andersons's determined style. She will be a confident and well respected addition to Mr. Spitzer's campaign. Democrats are thankful for Mr. Spitzer's foresight and to Ms. Anderson for her investment into their future.
NYC2012? A real winner. As much as anyone who frequents Starbucks.
