Clinton's consultants are just padding their bills now.
They know the math can't work for Sen. Clinton, but why kill the cash cow before the money's gone?

4. It doesn't seem that way, but how will she afford to run 6 more weeks
to PA? Further, how can the Democratic Party afford it, monetarily or perceptively?

The RNC is outraising the DNC because all the Dem money is going to this $600 million Primary.

5. I have no idea. God only knows what Hilly will do next. She and

her camp pain are all over the place.

The party elders will have to find a way to reign her in. If she keeps propping up McCain, I think they will have a sit down with her. All of this is quite damaging to the democratic party.

6. Will Penn be switching over to work on the McCain campaign
with his buddy? Anything for a buck.

7. I posted the following yesterday -
Penn already works with republicans.


By Jeffrey H. Birnbaum
Tuesday, February 20, 2007; Page A11 (Washington Post)

Mark J. Penn is a man who wears many hats: high-paid political and corporate pollster, chief executive of an international communications and lobbying company, and chief strategist to New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Well, there are more. Penn's firm, Burson-Marsteller Worldwide -- with 2,000 employees and $300 million a year in revenue -- owns BKSH & Associates, the major lobbying firm chaired by Charles R. Black Jr. That's right, Black, counselor to Republican presidents, reports to Clinton's top strategist.

The connections get even more entangled - www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/1...
