Matt Miller to DOJ

Doj Matthew Miller, who spearheaded the communications operation at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee during the 2008 election, is moving inside the walls of the Obama administration as chief spokesman for the Justice Department.  With Eric H. Holder Jr. expected to be confirmed as Attorney General this week, Miller will be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. He's had good practice. Before working under Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) at the DSCC, Miller was Communications Director for the successful 2006 Senate campaign of Robert Menendez (D-N.J.).  (Wash Post's "The Fix" column)
