Feb 23 2009, 1:17 PM ET Comment

The Democratic National Committee will soon announce that Democratic coalitions guru Brad Woodhouse will become communications director, an official said today. Woodhouse, a senior campaign adviser to Obama, has served as executive director of Americans United for Change, which organizes and runs media campaigns on behalf of Democratic causes. Woodhouse was asked to take the job within the past 24 hours, capping an extensive search. He will report to DNC executive director Jennifer O'Malley Dillon.  Karen Finney, the outgoing DNC comms director, is leaving to hang her own shingle. Among her clients: former DNC chairman Howard Dean. Finney is a former top aide to  Sec. of State Hillary Clinton when Clinton was first lady.
