Mark Penn: We’re Just Like Mondale

2/13/08, 3:22 pm EST

I caught part of a Clinton conference call this morning in my dentists’ waiting room, eager to see how the Clinton camp would spin their 8-contest losing streak.

The answer, in short, is not well.

There was something about how Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania combined have “64 percent of the delegates Clinton needs” to secure the nomination. Uh… yeah. That is if she wins all of the delegates. That’s bleak.

But not quite as bleak as Mark Penn’s comparison of the Clinton campaign to the late-surging Walter Mondale’s 1984 path to the nomination.

Of course we all remember how well that turned out:

They are pretty much done unless they actually do some ‘creative restructuring’ of the votes and the delegates. would be cool to see Obama win so many dels that even if all the superdels go to Sen Clinton she won’t win.

Did anyone happen to see that the Australian government appologized to the original inhabitants for having stripped away their children in an attempt at genocide. I wonder if that appology comes with assistance to help them rid themselves of the alcoholism that was introduced at the time to make them pliable. Or the denial of education, or taking away their lands and destroying their culture. I wonder how much that would be worth? Is money enough or are social programs to pull them out of the misery they live in?

Hmmm, I wonder if the US has admited their attempt at genocide of their natives yet. Anyone?

Either way, it’s good to see they are actually admiting the wrong that was done, let’s see if it’s an honest apology which is followed by action.

Jed,

I was pleased and impressed by Australia’s actions. As you said, it remains to be seen how far they’ll take that apology.

We won’t be seeing anything like that soon in this country. Why? Well, because we didn’t do anything ‘wrong’. That’s why. Just like it wasn’t ‘wrong’ to invade iraq.

If you think the Clintons are done your crazy. Howard Dean has stated he has a “Visceral dislike of Blacks”. Do you REALLY, REALLY, think he is going to give Obama the Nomination? You will hear things like “Well Hillary received the most Super Delegates or Obama is young and can re-run again but for Hillary it is now or never.” Say what you want about the republicans but with them, the one with the most delegates gets the nomination there is none of this Super Delegate crap.

Yea, but with the republicans you don’t really get the will of the people either. Since when in a democracy does winning a slight percentage give you claim to all. Just goes to show… ‘God Money don’t want everything, he want’s it all’

Mark Penn is a fool.
