: Blame Penn by Jason Horowitz | February 28, 2008
Harold Ickes definitely doesn’t buy the argument that Mark Penn isn’t responsible for everything that has happened to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
“Mark Penn has run this campaign,” said Ickes in a brief phone interview this morning. “Besides Hillary Clinton, he is the single most responsible person for this campaign.
“Now, he has been circumscribed to some extent by Maggie Williams,” said Ickes, who then pointed out that that was only a recent development.
When asked about the assertion by one senior Clinton official the campaign was effectively run by committee, diluting Penn’s authority, Ickes was incredulous.
“I don’t know what campaign you’re talking about,” said Ickes. “I have been at meetings where he introduces himself as the campaign’s chief strategist. I’ve heard him call himself that many times, say, ‘I am the chief strategist.’”
Asked if Penn preferred the title of chief strategist to pollster, Ickes said, “Prefer it? He insists on it!”
When asked if Penn was therefore responsible for the campaign’s strategy, Ickes said, “It’s pretty plain for anyone to see that he has shaped the strategy of the campaign. He has called the shots.”

So instead they are setting up a candidate that will be untouchable. We’re already seeing the start of this. Offer any critique at all of 0’bambi and you’re a racist, xenophobic, bigoted, Washington-insider, right-wing stooge.
For somebody claiming to not be a muslim, he sure is perpetually offended like the muzzies are...
With the Klintoons it’s all about I, I, I, and ME, ME, ME until there is a disaster, then it’s all about anyone/everyone else. This is too rich for words!
Her mangled response on that critical question showed that she could be vulnerable.
I'm convinced that the real reason Spitzer dropped his license plan was because the "Queen of New York" sent the message to Albany that it was undermining her campaign.
I bet she despises him right about now.
And she’s still way behind Obama.
The RNC on the other hand is about to take out another loan to help McCain get through the primaries.
My family doctor recently told me that the average American gains about 4-pounds/year starting after about age 50. If the Hilliary-beast has to wait until 2016 and follows the 4-pounds per year trend, that means she be about 32-pounds heavier than she is now by 2016. Think about it: that’s 16-pounds more per thigh. No way will she get elected in 2016 using my math.
You misspelled Tim Russert.

I'm imagining that right now.
Damn straight !!!
I have felt the same way. If Hillary loses to BHO in the primaries, she will turn loose all the Clintonistas to savage him in the runup to the general election.
I can only agree.
