Penn: GOP, Independents Deserting Obama

[Herman Munster]

http://thepage.time.com/2008/03/09/penn-gop-independents-deserting-obama/

Clinton’s top strategist asserts to the New Yorker that Obama’s liberal views and inexperience are costing him.
“Independent and Republican support is diminishing as they find out he’s the most liberal Democratic senator… As they get more of a sense that he’s not ready to be Commander-in-Chief, a lot of Independents who were supporting him are disappearing.”

[Arkana]

1. I want a hit of whatever Mark Penn has been smoking.

[Hawkeye-X]

2. It's Mark Fucking "Blackwater" Penn - campaign consultant of Hillary's

Who are ya gonna believe?

Certainly not Mark "I charge $10M to the Hillary Campaign to run it down to the ground" Penn

Hawkeye-X

[kid a]

3. I didn't have to read past "Clinton’s top strategist asserts" nt - garbage

[bicentennial_baby]

4. I'm glad Penn can admit that Obama is more liberal than Clinton!

Finally!

:rofl:

[DUyellow]

5. nice unbiased source there.

[CyberPieHole]

19. As opposed to Mat Drudge which seems to be the CULT of Obama's favored "source"

:evilgrin:

[MadBadger]

24. Again, Id expect nothing less from somebody with piehole in their name.

[KAZ]

25. Whackjob.

[NanceGreggs]

6. Hey, if Penn says it ...

... it must be true. It's not like he's got a million-dollar dispensing dog in the race.

[AtomicKitten]

7. He thinks if he repeats it enough, it will be so.

a la Goebbels

[Hawkeye-X]

8. Whoever is recommending this is an idiot.

IMHO.

[Mooney]

Penn is completely full of shit.

You should know this by now.

[think4yourself]

9. It's early yet.

Hillary is doing a fine job of imploding. Stay tuned. I was born and raised in PA. I'm going up to canvas for Obama.

[billbuckhead]

21. Don't hang out in any working class bars, you won't like what you hear

I just came back from western Pennsylvania and Hillary is far better liked.

[KAZ]

27. And it don't mean shit BillyBuck. In case you hadn't noticed,..

.. this thing is over. Except the fat lady is not singing. She's pointing her shame finger, and latching onto the puke train.

[billbuckhead]

53. It's over for the Democratic party if Hillary's opponent is nominated

An easy election sacrificed on the alter of political correctness.

[Exilednight]

10. Did you expect him to say that Hillary is losing support? She does sign his paycheck.

[tishaLA]

11. Bad, BAD Liberal!

Only in the Clinton campaign is being a liberal a problem.

[pinkpops]

12. Question - will there be a Pennsylvania debate?

[Hawkeye-X]

15. Answer: No.

20 debates is more than enough. MSRNC is hankering for another one - but Obama said enough is enough. Hillary is old news now.

Hawkeye-X

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

13. Me: Dems deserting Hillary

[CyberPieHole]

14. Finally, some people are opening their eyes to the sham of Obama's campaign.

:kick: and rec

[kid a]

17. you mean Penn? He'll come around to Obama.

[loveangelc]

16. is that why he wins them...?

[Hepburn]

18. Obviously an unbiased report....

...ROFPIMPLMAO!!!

:rofl:

[Mooney]

20. I couldn't help noticing

that Penn offers no evidence to back up his assertions. Is this another one of those "some people say" moments?

[Liberal Veteran]

Some people say that Hillary's secret deal with Satan to secure the nomination might hurt her chance

...in the GE.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

22. Well, I cant imagine Mark Penn being biased in any way...

...so it must be true. Darn.





:eyes:

[Hepburn]

26. ...

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

35. LOL

And the answer is: NO FREAKIN WAY would I buy a used car from him. :rofl:

[babylonsister]

23. Penn? Who's on top today, Penn or Ickes? Bwhahaha!

She really should reconsider her spokesmen!

What we know so far about the Clinton campaign is discomforting. We know that Clinton's campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, remained in her position long after having squandered the entire campaign war chest. We know that Mark Penn, chief strategist of the campaign, has alienated nearly everyone he works with, often getting into profanity-laden arguments with fellow advisers. We know he is "openly despised" by many senior Clinton officials. We know that, in the face of heavy criticism, Mark Penn has tried to shift the blame, maintaining that he is just an outside adviser, with no real control of the campaign.

We know that Harold Ickes is eager to argue the point in front of microphones, where he has ungracefully laid the blame squarely on Penn. We know that, at the Arlington headquarters, the tension has built so high that Penn and Mandy Grunwald, Hillary's ad maker, got into a yelling match that prompted the political director to leave the room. And we know that we know that because it was leaked.

We know the media team fights with the field team, each blaming the other for Clinton's February losses. Perhaps worst of all, The Washington Post confirmed what many Democrats had feared the most: in South Carolina, Bill Clinton was out of the campaign's control.

A good measure of the relative functionality of a campaign is to watch how often inside information is leaked to the press. That we know as much as we do about the internal strife in Hillaryland suggests that the press is being wielded as a weapon in the middle of an all out civil war.

[RBInMaine]

28. Yeah right ! I suppose they're all just flocking to Hillary.

[against all enemies]

29. She's a MONSTER. Willing to destroy anyone in her way.

[NDambi]

30. Penn's hitting the pipe again huh

[DaDooRonRon]

31. Mark Penn is to truth what an iguana is to roofing felt n/t

[DemGa]

32. Oh no, repugs are really liberals you see

But what does this matter anyway? Obama will vanquish the left/right political paradigm as we know it!

[JimGinPA]

33. Penn Is Right About One Thing...

No he's not,just full of shit as usual.


MARK PENN

[Liberal Veteran]

43. The Hutt Anti-Defamation League would like to lodge a formal complaint...

...for daring to suggest that a bill slimy ugly fuck like Penn is in any way Hutt-like.

[krkaufman]

34. Wyoming never happened. Nothing to see there, move along, please. n/t

[dalloway]

36. Actual, they are listeting to RUSH and crossing over so GOP

Can win in GE against the WEAKEST candidate....

Bill helping that strategy by showing up on Limbaugh the day of Texas primary. Don't think they don't know exactly what the hell they are doing and Penn is trying to make it look like the LOVE HRC instead of wanting her to win so they can beat her.

[Johnny__Motown]

37. Penn... ah yes. let's all believe him.. judging from his performance so far .....

HE HAS NO FREAKING CLUE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

[ericgtr]

38. OMG BREAKING NEWS!! From Hillary's top strategist??

What a crock, thanks for making me waste a click.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

39. What did Teller say?

[Liberal Veteran]

40. He mimed "nutjob" and pointed at Penn.

:D

[DearAbby]

41. I would believe this piece of Scheeet...why? n/t

[Blondiegrrl]

42. ... because Mark Penn is such a reliable source of opinion on Obama?

Um, yeah. Right.

[VolcanoJen]

44. I swear to gawd, as political strategy this shit is not sustainable

It might have worked in the three-week TX and OH campaign, to a kind of mixed result, but at one point or another most people (and Jon Stewart) really start calling this crap for what it is.

Seven years of Bush/Cheney have honed the nation's "cutting through the bullshit" skills, which is bad news for the increasingly cynical Clinton campaign as we go forward.

[stop the bleeding]

45. Really? I mean Really that's all you got?

Oh praise the baby jesus, praise the baby jesus. :crazy:

[SunsetDreams]

46. and if Mark Penn says it....

it must be true.



:sarcasm:

It's more like he hopes that will happen, hence the kitchen sink strategy. I guess people don't seem to realize that since the Bush administration and all his lies, Americans tend to do research now on their own to find if something is true rather than take someone at their word. We learned that from Bush.

[not_too_L8]

47. funny

hahahahahhahaha

[zulchzulu]

48. Penn has money in McCain and Hillary being CEO of Burson-Marsteller

He's double dipping with being CEO of Burson-Marsteller doing Hillary Clinton's campaign and having a subsidiary company doing McCain's campaign.

More on this in another thread...

[LibertyorDeath]

49. Penn... What a joke this bozo is

How much a month is her royal highness paying this dipshit

for his magical thinking.

50. Me: Logic, common sense deserting Penn.

[bvar22]

51. Oh....This is another Satire Post !!!!

Had me going there for a minute.

Thanks for the laughs!

:rofl:

[CampDem]

52. Interesting!!

Hillary might draw some of the Ron Paul libertarians that are looking for someone to beat the neo-cons. Check out the libertarian blogger James Ostrowski's reaction to the Meet the Press today on the Lew Rockwell site.

Go Hillary!!

[rucky]

54. Is this another McCain endorsement?

[cali]

55. Does Penn provide any evidence? Of course not

He's simply desperately spinning. What a piece of filth that toad is.
