Hillary Clinton's chief strategist is quickly developing a reputation as the greatest comedian on the campaign trail. The latest: Obama must win Ohio and Texas, according a recent Penn memo.
“Obama Must-Wins.”“If he cannot win all of these states with all this effort, there's a problem,” Penn writes. And not only does he have to win, they have to be “decisive,” according to the memo.
“Should Senator Obama fail to score decisive victories with all of the resources and effort he is bringing to bear, the message will be clear.”
When they write the obituary for Hillary Clinton's campaign, they'll say it was death by a thousand little memos from Mark Penn.
