Well... I really don't know what to say about the latest comments from Clinton Campaign chief strategist Mark Penn except that it seems Hillary should have fired his ass a long, long time ago.
In his most recent effort to garner support for his candidate, Penn came up with this gem:“Winning Democratic primaries is not a qualification or a sign of who can win the general election. If it were, every nominee would win because every nominee wins Democratic primaries.”
So, let me get this straight, Mr. Penn: you are suggesting that even though Barack Obama is kicking your candidate's ass in primary after primary, winning in almost every demographic, raising $1 million a day in online donations and swinging some superdelegates over to his his side even after they've initially supported Clinton, the primaries really don't mean anything in terms of who can win in November.
Two questions: 1 - How did you get this job? and 2 - From what position were you fired previously?
The notion that Hillary has a better shot to win the general election when she can't even get a majority of Democratic voters to support her in the primaries would be a laughable one if it weren't so sad.
Bob Cesca analyzes Penn's tortured logic by stating, " [Penn is saying that] what the DNC should do is actually nominate the person who gets fewer votes/delegates/states in the primary process. Okay, okay, Mark. Bring on Democratic Nominee Joe Biden!"
Mark Penn has jumped the shark.

The hil campaign thought it would all be over by super tuesday feb.5.They never anticipated the Obama express.I think as dicussed on Bill mahr's show,she turned alot of people off for not saying her vote for the war was a mistake while the other candidates said they had made a mistake for voting for it.If she had said it the day she announced her candidacy,and by refusing to still say it was a mistake when most of the country calls it a mistake it makes her look like shes living in the same false reality that Bush is in.Why these advisers thought they could get away with it and produce a candidate with the same kind of mindset the WH has had for the past seven years(she also said she wouldn't speak to our enemies)while Obama would shows you that their are clear differences between them(I want to end the mindset that got us into this war)and he should club her and Mccain with it like like a baby seal!(For the record,I love baby seals).
