How in hell can one candidate surround herself with such unpleasant front men?
Mark Penn and Howard Wolfson are monumentally unpleasant people. Why would any smart campaign put these two shitbirds on live teevee to drum up support?

1. Mark Penn is such a turn off
He appears slovenly.

2. I have no idea. They must do good work behind-the-scenes
but, like you said, the campaign could have better people on TV. :shrug:

Country. That seems like a disaster to me.

We have a chance for a major realignment of the voting base by pulling people over to the Democratic side during 2008. We better take the chance while we have it.

4. Don't forget
Terry McAucliffe who was connected to some insider trading problem with WorldCom before its demise, or Rupert Murdoch, Robert Hsu and other sleaze.

5. At least McAuliffe comes off as personable
To say Murdoch is on her 'team' is bullshit.

Penn literally appears as if he would smell bad. Wolfson just snarls even when he tries to be nice, and when he makes that sad attempt at a smile he has those tiny, needle-like lizard teeth.

8. The 'Rove' syndrome
That cretin ruined politics by making it a liability not to be a sneaking, conniving, scoundrel, in order to win elections. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. I don't care if it's a lie or not. I like sayin' it. So there!
