We have a new round of Iowa staffer updates.
As Chris Woods reported yesterday, Chris Hayler of John Kerry and Evan Bayh fame has been picked up by the Hillary campaign as its Iowa Political Director.
This morning’s Hotline reports that Mark Daley has been picked up by Hillary as her Iowa Communications Director. Daley is the executive director of One Iowa, and previously held posts as Communications Director for the Iowa Democratic Party and Leonard Boswell for Congress.
I am also hearing rumblings that Steve Chasse has been picked up by the Obama campaign. He’s a great pick up. Formerly with John Kerry in 2004 and more recently aligned with Governor Mark Warner’s bid, Chasse has solid labor ties.

Chasse confirmed
I can confirm that Steve Chasse is working for Obama, in constituency outreach stuff, I believe.

interesting--do you think labor will go for Obama?
It seems like labor will split between Edwards and Vilsack.

Another Obama Staffer
Rohan Patel (sp?) is also signed on with Obama, doing outreach with Steve. I believe he worked on the Democrat State Senate races. Not a surprise then, since Emily Parcell (Obama’s political director for Iowa) ran the Senate campaign.
