Mark Penn on the General Election

By Big Tent Democrat

Speaking for me only

Mark Penn has been an albatross across the neck of the Hillary Clinton campaign. Today he does it again:

Here is what Penn said. . . ."Obama "really can't win the general election." As you'll hear, he also says that "if Barack Obama can't win" in Pennsylvania, "how could he win the general election?"

Later, a reporter asks what he meant. Clinton campaign communications chief Howard Wolfson jumps in to say that "Mark did not say that." Then Penn says that if Obama doesn't win the Pennsylvania primary, it "raises serious questions" about whether he can win the general election.

What do you think the solid Howard Wolfson thinks of Penn? Probably the same as I do, that Penn is a dope.
