McAuliffe says Penn should zip it By Klaus Marre Posted: 03/04/08 11:39 AM [ET]
Terry McAuliffe, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) presidential campaign chairman, said Tuesday that top pollster Mark Penn should stop talking to the press after remarks from Penn indicated that he is distancing himself from the campaign.
“People ought to quit talking to the press and focus on helping Hillary win,” McAuliffe said on MSNBC in response to a question about Penn’s remarks.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Penn said in an e-mail that he had “no direct authority in the campaign,” and called himself an “outside message adviser with no campaign staff reporting to me.”
Penn said others in the campaign had the say on budget issues and resource allocation, as well as the political and organizational sides. Some see his statement as his effort to distance himself from a campaign that is on the ropes, even though Penn is seen as one of Clinton’s main strategists.

FOOD FIGHT!!!
Mr. Penn appears to be distancing himself...all the way to Fort Marcy Park.
*smirk* Fun to watch, I can’t stand either one of them (Penn or McAuliffe) Better melt some more butter for that popcorn.
Popcorn - let’s all have some popcorn.
Agreed...Hillary has this locked up. Obama will be the last to know...pass the popcorn.
The Hill-tanic is sinking. Women and children first!
“Markie? Yeah, Markie...he don’t come ‘round here no more...”
Delegates are coming.
Her new mission is to create JUSTIFICATION for gaining Super Delegate support.
If she takes 3/4 states with popular vote today (and she will), she claims momentum and victory. She claims she won ALL the Big Blue States.
Obama missed his chance. Red Phone and Conservative who are now scared of Obama’s religious background are driving his negatives high. Hillary finally found a way to beat him in Red States.
Catholics are voting for Hillary 2-1 and PA has tons of them. Indiana is another die-hard Red State where Somali Elder picture would do wonders for you. Puerto Rico is hers.
She will cut down the Delegate lead SIGNIFICANTLY and she would show that she has the Momentum, and Polls are ALREADY backing her up Nationally. She has retaken the lead over Obama and she would claim she is better matchup against McCain.
Republicans have already offerred to re-do Florida. That’s another Delegate Goldmine, and Raul Castro’s endorsement of Obama pretty much ensures he doesn’t carry the state.
Kiddie Cursaders, base of Obama’s support have never delievered before and won’t do so today.
Finally, Obama will be under pressure to not take the Sharpton route and will bow out, and ACCEPT VP Nomination.
Yeah, she got that in the bag.
If Hilde keeps on winning the Large States, and narrows the delegate count, we may see the spectacle of a “re-Vote” in FL at least.
This is a grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup moment, I can only imagine the Clintons, with the Nomination within 50 delegates, at the Convention in Denver.
There will be blood on the Convention floor...pass the Dortmunder....
She will carry Ohio, Texas, PA, Indiana and Puerto Rico. In between her momentum may allow her to carry some other states too.
If they re-do FL, she may even re-take the delegate lead.
If she is only 30-35 pledge delegates behind, and she is the big winner this time of the year, just like in any boxing match, you can win first 8 rounds, but if you lose last 4, you lose the fight.
>> Obama will be under pressure to not take the Sharpton route and will bow out
What you outline could come to pass... but not until the convention.
Obama will be ahead (methinks significantly ahead) until convention time — and if he’s ahead, no way will he succumb to pressure to bow out. He’s got plenty of dough, too.
Chin up, FRiend... gory hairpulling catfight Dim convention, HERE WE COME!!!
Love it!!!
