Tar Heel Makes It Big

North Carolina native Julianna Smoot – who was finance director in the Obama presidential campaign – has been named the new White House social secretary.
 
The announcement last week said this about Smoot:
 
“A native of North Carolina, Smoot has worked in and out of Washington. Prior to joining the Administration, Smoot served as finance director for the Obama Campaign. She has also worked for Senators Schumer, Durbin, Reid and Rockefeller.”
 
It left out one thing: She was also head fundraiser for John Edwards in his 1998 Senate race and, as I recall, for some years afterward.
