Steve Hildebrand, Tom Daschle's former campaign manager, has entered the foray of liberal groups opposing the nomination of Judge Sam Alito. From the 12/8 Roll Call:
According to several aides on Capitol Hill and strategists off the Hill, the main coordinator of the growing roster of consultants is Ricki Seidman, now a public relations executive but who worked for Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) during the nomination battle of Robert Bork and eventually became a deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department. Seidman has been a PFAW [People For the American Way] consultant in the past.
Jenny Backus, a former communications director for the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Jim Jordan, former executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, are advising the coalition. Steve Hildebrand of Hildebrand and Tewes and several of his staff also are working to defeat the nomination.
The field operation for the coalition has been bolstered by Kim Molstre, who was most recently in charge of grass-roots activities for Americans United to Protect Social Security, the group that led opposition in the states to Bush’s Social Security plans.
