Candidate Clinton has always deserved better counsel than that from a political pollster and about-average flack. While Mr. Penn may be a prosperous political operative, he has demonstrated that he is no communications strategist, and clearly is not in tune with the pulse of America.
It really doesn't matter who advises Ms. Clinton at this point. She is just on the wrong side of history. Obama is a light that captures the imagination of Americans of all political stripes, but mostly he represents a new generation. 2009 may be the beginning of a powerful progressive reawakening, the likes of which Rush, Rove, Rummy, Wolfiwicz, W., Cheney and the whole gang of right-wingers have wrought by their persistent march toward exclusion, excess and expensive foreign policy. Over $3 per gallon of gas, I mean really, what in the sam blazes is that? Here's to Obama and a new way forward.
From the Beach Chair, Matt Gentile
I'm feeling really good about Barack Obama going all the Way!
Thank Heavens!! Both Hillary + Barack would make a Great Prez too bad they're both running in the same Year* I just spotted today an Economist figgers Bush's Illegal Iraq War will Cost Americans $3 to $5 TRILLION Dollars! Honestly I can't believe Americans haven't Marched down to the Whitehouse + Yanked Bush + Grampa Cheney's Sorry Asses outta there yet!! Where's Mangy Cur Rabid Hyena Jackal Bob Barr when we Need him?? ;PPP http://www.WorldCantWait.org Peace*
Mark Penn personifies just about everything that gives public relations a bad reputation. If he is indeed controlling the main elements of her campaign, we can be thankful he's screwing it up big time.
I knew it was over when during the last debate Clinton chastised Obama for saying he'd "bomb Pakistan." This same lame chestnut was put forward by the Republicans (the party of the 100 Years War) two weeks before and was shot down as being totally out of context. Since Clinton's staff can't do any better than recycling GOP crap, you know the fat lady is about to sing for Hillary.
I might have missed the key word that describes Penn and the Clinton campaign - cynicism! If you covered it, my apologies. The contrast between the Obama and Clinton campaigns is that while Obama is hopeful, Clinton is cynical. Money drives politics and online organizational tools have allowed Obama to tap into a huge pool of small dollar donors who truly believe we can do better than the cynicism of the past couple of decades. Thanks for the story.
