Penn Out As Clinton Chief Strategist Apr 6 06:44 PM US/Eastern

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The manager of Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign says Mark Penn has asked to give up his role as chief strategist of the campaign.

Campaign manager Maggie Williams issued a statement Sunday saying the action comes after what she referred to as "the events of the last few days."

Williams says Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign.

She also says Geoff Garin and Howard Wolfson "will coordinate the campaign's strategic message team going forward.

Where is that reporter who criticized Romney for having “lobbyists” on his staff? Hillary’s top strategist was a lobbyist, and not a word about it.

Can only mean one thing --> Hildabeast's internal polls telling her that she's going to take a nose dive in PA... And, NC is voting for Obamy...

I think that is right. You don't need a political strategist when your political options no longer exist. Hillary! is assembling the goon squad and he doesn't have the skills.

Penn should consider himself lucky for just getting fired. He could have ended up in Fort Mercy Park with a “self-inflicted gunshot wound”

Thinking in terms of Fort Mercy Park, I'd say Penn got off easy....

Mrs William Clinton, wife of the impeached ex president, cannot keep her campaign team functioning can imagine what she will do to the country if she is elected..

If she's elected, we'd have to turn off our tv sets for four years...

Oh, he's not at all out of the woods yet..... it would be more convenient for the Clintonistas to have a 'suicide' by a former, departed staff member than by the currently serving 'chief strategist' ...... he'd better make sure he's taken out the insurance policy of all the key documents and his reflections upon them secured in secret safe deposit boxes, well secured from the Clintonistas, which will be opened to the press in event of his untimely death.... but how does he know who he can really trust now?? ...and he'd better make sure all the key Clintonistas understand that all their dirty laundry will be aired if he should end up like Vince Foster.

Inflicted by a gun that his wife doesn't remember ever seeing, made of a bunch of parts, and from which they never find the bullet.

This is a huge blow to Operation Chaos. We foot soldiers in Operatin Chaos need to somehow spin this as the best thing that ever happened to Hillary, that Penn was a millstone around Mrs. Clintons neck and now the campaign can move forward on positive terms, blah, blah, blah. There has been a concerted effort among Democrat operatives to end this thing and crown Obama in the last several weeks. We need to get behind Hillary and stop his momentum.

We need to do no such thing...Obama cannot be more evil than the clintons.

Most importantly, we CAN defeat him in the General.

Oh, and we do not know of a Fort Marcy Park in his background and we damn sure know Fort Marcy Park exists in the clinton camp.
