I just got a call from Mark Penn, one of the campaign strategists on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. He wants to defect.
That would be a crushing blow for Senator Clinton, a trusted insider calls it quits and heads to the other side. I’m not so sure that’s such a good idea. First, it could be a Trojan Horse. Maybe Mark Penn just wants to find out what we’re doing, how we do it. Like I really know. Michelle handles all the campaign strategy. David Plouffe just checks items off her daily do list. It’s really that easy.
Second, why would I want Mark Penn to work on my staff? I had to tell my staffers to consider what he did with Senator Clinton’s campaign for President. A few months ago Clinton was leading everyone by 20-points. Her campaign, under Mark Penn, can’t raise money as fast as it gets spent. Clinton is losing delegates left and right. Sure, she won some of the bigger states but that’s because her husband is so popular there.
I think we’ll tell Mark that we’ll consider his offer, then we’ll get back to him. Soon.
Maybe even before the election.
