I just finished saying it isn't over - but if Hillary can't figure out that Mark Penn is a stone cold loser when it comes to strategy, she deserves to lose, too. Hillary's disdain for all things military was widely reported during the Clinton years. That Penn feels this is her wedge issue against Obama is just a sad joke. She needed to fire Penn a long time ago and never did.
On a conference call, top strategist Mark Penn just told reporters that in the next two weeks Hillary Clinton will go after Barack Obama on the issue of who is better qualified to be commander-in-chief — and Penn suggested that Clinton would be a better commander of the nation's armed forces than both Obama and John McCain.


Penn & Co. don't get it - Democrat voters are not looking for a suitable Commander in Chief - they're looking for the person who will raise the white flag the quickest and turn tail the fastest. Last night David (Rodham) Gergen accused the Clinton campaign of "political malpractice" and you've flagged another example of such.

The new strategy of the week is seldom a winner

I can only imagine what Hillary Clinton and her people must be thinking. They actually planned to pull off this primary, but just how remains a mystery. Political types will write about the brief but nauseating rise & fall of Hillary for decades. What not to do: marriage of junk-science and hypocrisy. And the Clinton apologists on TV; what possible successful political conclusion do they envision for Hillary? Perhaps they just don't want to incur the Clinton's wrath in the final hour – understandable. When Hillary decided to run for president, I began distributing this link in earnest. It's been awhile, I've had some hits, but nary a contradiction from anyone – no conformations, and no denials: http://theseedsof9-11.com

Hillary is a looser, whiner. She deserves to loose. Couple of days ago she said, she want to clean white house, let her clean her house first, bill cheated on her what she did??? On Iraq war what she did??? When jobs are going to China what she did??? She is just taking credit for her husband's time in white house when the economy was doing better than now, Bill was lucky that economy was better at that time. What hillary really needs is power and want to be president. I like a women president one day, but not her. When she lost one state she cried on TV, when she lost 11 in a row she did not even congratulate Obama!!! I am a white male along with my wife support Barack Obama. He is the smart and able candidate to be president for this country.
