No surprise...
As the saying goes, success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan.
I have no doubt that, should a miracle occur and Her Imperial majesty's campaign revive, that all these faceless names will be scrambling to claim that theirs was the pivotal role in the trunaround.

In other words:
I wash my hands when things are looking bleak.
Follow what his boss HRC did about: Universal Health care 1993, Iraq war resolution, Iran war resolution, you name it.

In other words...
"Please hire me to run your next campaign. This one wasn't my fault. It's her fault! It's his fault!"
That sounds so current administration I have to wonder if he was a neocon mole all along.

Mark Penn
The phenomena of Mark Penn continues. How does this person keep getting high level staffing jobs, when he is probably one of the singularly most disastrous strategy aids ever? If I did my job as poorly as Mark Penn has, and failed so miserably on as many tasks as he has, I'd be living in a box.
Maybe being the chief strategist of a campaign that went from experienced, competent frontronner to DC cocktail party joke will finally put the ink on his political pink slip. Someone convince this guy to work for the Republicans. It's probably the best thing that could ever happen for the Democrats.

seriously?
So let me get this straight....Hillary Clinton paid almost 4 million dollars to a man who did nothing, was in charge of nothing, made no decisions, had no staff, and takes no responsibility? Boy, that's sound fiscal judgment for you. If I were her, I would be asking for a big, fat refund!

Penn should have waited till tomorrow.
If Billary's campaign somehow reverses it's second-place trend tonight, he won't be able to take any credit for it on his resume. He won't be able to have it both ways. Poncius Pilate or Sooth Sayer. What a guy. Just the type I know I'd love to run an important campaign for me...
-
What a guy!
All that AND modest to boot. Goes out of his way to give credit to others by name! It's an inspiration to see someone can reach such heights and yet remain so down to earth. Bravo, Sir: I salute your enormity of character.

Face up to your responsibilities to Frau Hillary like a man!

If Hillary Can't Tell Good Advisors From Bad -- How Can She Be President?

You'd think someone with all of Hillary's "experience" would realize that Mark Penn sucks.
Proves Obama's point about how long resumes don't equal sound judgement.
Hillary is as into hiring and promoting loyal friends (over qualified candidates) as Bush is.

Nuts. This story
points out the desperation of this campaign. I have no doubt that this dysfunction is a reflection of the manner in which she would run the White House, if elected.
It reflects the manner in which her husband, Bill, ran the White House when he was president. Talk to folks who were there.When they left at the end of the second term they looked like they had survived a war, complete with PTSD.
Nuts. Her folks end up consuming each other while she stands and delivers the message that all is great. These folks need therapy, not the White House.This is exactly what so many of us abhor about the democratic party.
Clinton shows her eleventh hour desire to change her momentum, and she thinks she deserves it; but many of us who were there at the start are disgusted- again- by this sometimes coy, often crazy, always divisive strategy. These folks give the party a bad name.
There is a significant risk that large numbers of Obama supporters will defect or drop out of the general election if Clinton gets the nonmination, because they will be so turned off, for any number of reasons, by the manner in which she "won" the nomination.
Has anyone polled that possibility?
That is my prediction.
BTW, some years ago, when Gore was the nominee, someone close to me who was a trained democratic party organizer told me that Gore would lose Florida. He based his opinion upon a few factors, including the poor organization of the Gore folks.
We all know how that story ends.
