The Clinton campaign appears to be staffed by morons. To wit:
Mark Penn: “Could we possibly have a nominee who hasn’t won any of the significant states — outside of Illinois?” Chief Strategist Mark Penn said. “That raises some serious questions about Sen. Obama.”
Oh dear. This is so obviously absurd that it scarcely requires refutation. Still, it’s tiresome that so many people seem to think performance in a Democratic-primary is any indicator for likely performance in a November general election. Let me make a bold prediction however: if Barack Obama is the nominee he will win “significant” states such as New York and California.
Meanwhile, the entertainment continues:
But the campaign has something of a shellshocked feel, as staffers privately chew over a blowup last week where internal frictions flared into the open. Clinton campaign operatives say it happened as top Clinton advisers gathered in Arlington, Va., campaign headquarters to preview a TV commercial.
