Serious question to Clinton supporters: Are you pleased with Mark Penn?


I think he's run a woefully bad campaign thus far. If Hillary wins this thing, it will be in spite of him, not because of him.


I know there will be several "rah rah!" posts praising him, but even those people... deep down... have to be disappointed in the job he's done so far.


My opinion is if Hillary does pull this off, she should fire Penn and grab Axelrod from Obama.

2. I don't really have an opinion.
But I believe she's done remarkably well considering she has had the entire MSM against her. :wow:

3. It's not about one guy but I'd give him a "fair" rating at best
The campaign is a multifaceted beast. Clinton has done well at maintaining a party "machine" edge and has also done well at countering some of her negatives such as her supposed cold and unfeeling side. However the inpsiration and rah rah side has been somewhat disappointing - although much of that may be due to the comparison to Obama who is a natural there.

5. I don't pay attention to that
Who the campaign officials are doesn't interest me. As far as her campaign goes, I'm satisfied. I didn't expect her to blow Obama out.

7. Hillary is running her own campaign
Mark Penn gives her advice. Hillary then decides what to do with his advice.

But I don't understand why they let him speak to the media on camera.

8. She's stuck with him now
Another shakeup in her campaign would be a disaster she wouldnt recover from.
