Note to Hillary: Publically fire Mark Penn to try and save your campaign

[Windy]

At this point, that is the only shot she has of getting anyone to believe that she wants to be positive and run an above board campaign focused on the issues. If she doesn't it will seal the deal that she is an "old school" politician who engages in dirty politics like Rove and Company

1. I wish I had said that. I was thinking of posting the same thing just now.

[fascisthunter]

2. Mark Penn is Looking Like a Trojan Horse

but then again, Hillary might approve of his actions.

[maddiejoan]

3. I think that's gonna happen pretty soon

If not --it probably should.

[PA Democrat]

4. He was on Hardball, and I was REALLY turned off by him.

He was laughing while the campaigns' people were talking about their candidates' positions. He was rude, abrasive and VERY unlikable.

[Botany]

6. And he works in union busting & p.r. for Blackwater.

He is a nasty piece of work

[Capn Sunshine]

8. He's very representative of her campaign.

He has set the tone. The hubris, the arrogance, the sense of entitlement. That reflects in a thousand points from the central prism of Mark Penn. One need look no farther than DU to get a glimpse of what happens when the numbers turn south.

[David Zephyr]

17. Well, something is wrong in that camp and it might be Penn.

I've never seen such a disciplined campaign become so careless and lose itself.

I don't discount Hillary, but something has gone really wrong there and I think your summation of Mark Penn is a pretty good one.

9. Hmmm... who does he remind me of?

Hint... see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nKHBSFSosY

[Andy823]

12. I saw him too

He was a real "jerk"!

[K Gardner]

5. Spooky.. I was just getting ready to post the same thing...

Maybe something in the stream of the universal conscious.. :-)

It's starting to look bad on the Party, not just on Hillary.

[aquart]

11. Thank for your concern, too.

"Party," my ass. The "party" looked just great after Biden finished with Hill.

[calteacherguy]

7. Hmmm....no comment. nt

[aquart]

10. There it is again: the "just like Bush" smear.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN.

Since Hillary "saving" her campaign is the last thing you want to see, pardon me if I find your concern just a wee bit suspect.

[Windy]

13. Look, he is an embarrassment to the entire party. He needs to go.

And despite what you may think, I don't believe Hillary is as bad as this pompus overgrown child makes her look!!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

14. I don't think the Clinton campaign is in any way, shape, or form, like the Bush Admin....

To be like the Bush Administration is to be a fascist administration runs by evil geniuses who have an evil idiot as their puppet-head.

However, no one should use even 1 of the Repugnicans' techniques for getting ahead in an election. Repugnicans are filthy pigs.

[flyarm]

15. too late ..that scum bag has already painted the lady into a corner..

he is the equivalent of Rove in dem clothing..
whats that saying about sleeping with the fleas?
fly

16. Hillary needs to break out and be real, fast.

When you really get down to her personal beliefs and values, she is a great human being. But I think she's sunken into this mess where she believes she needs all these political machinations and illusions, and its killing her as a candidate. She needs to tell her advisers to get stuffed and be herself and follow her heart, and demostrate for real through her actions that she means change....I hope she does it too, because I think she's a valuable human being who could offer a lot.

[ClarkUSA]

18. Note to Hillary: Please keep trying to swift boat Obama!

The more you do it, the worse you look and the better Obama does in the polls.

[TabulaRasa]

19. I'd hate to offer advice

that might help the Clinton machine in any way, but, much as I hate Penn, I think it would be a disastrous move to publicly fire a central figure of her campaign this late in the game. It would just fuel the media meme of a campaign in disarray. If she wants a new story, she should come up with something else.

[Perry Logan]

20. What breathtaking hypocrisy for the potty-mouthed Obamites to pontificate about negative campaigns!
