HANGING ROCK, Ohio - While Hillary Clinton wages the fight of her political life, her campaign architects are at war trying to save their reputations.

The blame game between chief strategist Mark Penn and her top political svengali, Harold Ickes, has burst into the open as Clinton's poll numbers plunge.

Penn, defensive about being faulted for the mountain of money the campaign has blown through, told the New York Observer, "Every single expenditure is reviewed and approved by the campaign, by Harold Ickes and his team, one by one. I have absolutely no budget authority or any administrative control."

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."

Last night, Penn was conciliatory.

"All I can say is that we are a strong team working together, and we believe we will be successful," he said. As their snit played out in public, the Clinton campaign boasted of doing one thing right: raising money this month.
