--- As the campaign faces a make-or-break moment, some high-level officials are trying to play down their role in the campaign. Penn said in an e-mail over the weekend that he had "no direct authority in the campaign," describing himself as merely "an outside message advisor with no campaign staff reporting to me."

"I have had no say or involvement in four key areas -- the financial budget and resource allocation, political or organizational sides. Those were the responsibility of Patti Solis Doyle, Harold Ickes and Mike Henry, and they met separately on all matters relating to those areas."---

Perhaps Hillary's internal don't look so good. This rat is jumping ship.

:P

The $6mm dollar man now "never had direct authority".

:rofl:

I guess he is hedging his bet against the upcoming Prince/Blackwater and McCain Campaign contracts.

ouch that hurt

Ickes hit back by placing the campaign's missteps at Penn's feet.

"Besides Hillary Clinton, he is the single most responsible person for this campaign," Ickes told the paper, adding, "He has called the shots."

This Laurel and Hardy act of theirs has grown quite tiresome.

makes tomorrow look very promising. :evilgrin:

But these two, who don't even seem fit to run a campaign for the county dog catcher, certainly aren't helping her.

Just perfect!

:popcorn:

I've ever told you how much I love your screen name. :)

She'd be better off without him.

now that`s a ringing endorsement for experience and judgment

and leadership

HRC, ready on day ????????

:wtf:

:rofl:

Her judgment in running this campaign has been unimpressive.

if you recall Hillary and Bill were always ditching people after using them as
scapegoats.

abandoning ship

This was/is Hillary's team, she chose 'em, retained 'em... birds of a feather

I've been watching how both Obama and Hillary comport themselves and how they have run their campaigns. Obama appears to have a cooler temperament and measured judgment.Plus from the very beginning he and his people have gotten regular people like me INVOLVED and contributing.

All in all this land of ours will be far better governed with Obama as President. He's calm, smart and doesn't waste money. he's not devious and underhanded like... LOL
