Clinton campaign: Hillary would win in a landslide if the election were tomorrow
The Hill: Clinton campaign: Hillary would win in a landslide if the election were tomorrow
By Klaus Marre
November 15, 2007

Mark Penn, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) chief strategist, said Thursday that the Democratic front-runner would get 360 electoral votes if the election were held tomorrow and she faced former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R). Penn, in a campaign memo, said the results would be similar regardless of which of the top Republican candidates Clinton would face.

Ahead of Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate, the memo is a rallying cry for Clinton supporters. The former first lady has undergone her first major crisis in the race following a shaky performance at the last debate. However, Penn paints the race as Clinton holding steady atop the polls while her Democratic rivals have to resort to “aggressive personal attacks.”

“The voters are looking for someone who has the strength and experience to lead, and little has changed in the last few weeks outside of the massive media coverage of the attacks,” Penn stated.

6. Too bad for Hillary, the election isn't tomorrow.
Lucky for us, we have 49 days to consider the best choice, instead of accepting *inevitability*.

8. But it's not tomorrow - the first contest is 49 days away - and anything can happen
What do you bet Howard Dean wished the caucuses were held in November 2003?

Silly Mark Penn.

9. There Is One Thing I'm 100% CERTAIN Of
The November '08 election race will be Close. VERY CLOSE. The Corporate Media is counting on it, for their 10 Months of Political Garbage Programming. The last thing they want is a landslide.

The closer it is, the better the chance for things to be altered, if "They" want it so.
