In a memo, Clinton's chief strategist says she has a better chance than Obama to beat McCain.
  • Unfortunately, there's a unpleasant problem with Penn's argument

    "the Clinton memo, authored by Chief Strategist Mark Penn, anticipates Republican arguments to come and explains why Clinton can refute them."

    Penn is right that Republican arguments about ANYTHING can usually be refuted with data and basic logic. However, sadly, most Americans don't vote based on data and basic logic. I like Clinton, but most Americans vote for the person they like more, not because of charts and arguments. That is why, despite Clinton's strong resume, Obama is still more likely to defeat McCain in November.
