Oh, absolutely. This was hers to lose, and Penn lost it for her. She deserved so much better. It’s heartbreaking.

What’s the matter? Don’t you want to break federal law? And if you do, and by some miracle you are successful, you get to be the guy who killed the dream. You’ll be hated by young people and African-Americans for the rest of your life. Gee, it sounds like such an attractive offer, John.
I am so pissed at Penn. He has screwed this thing up and now it’s too late. Barack will be over 50% tonight, he’ll crush her in Nevada and South Carolina. And then, what? She’s going to rally and beat him in California and 21 other states? Not after Penn has bled that campaign dry. She’s toast.

Diane and I are laughing about it. We’re taking the boys to the Rockets-Wizards game tonight instead of watching the returns. So I’m on for Chicago. But the NY Times says YOU are joining Hillary’s campaign.

Are you as Fox says reporting for duty or are you coming to Chicago with me?
