<p>For a glimpse of what life might be like if Hillary Clinton’s firewalls in Ohio and Texas don’t hold on Tuesday, check out the latest from The New York Observer.<br /><br />
The pink sheet has an <a title="interview with Mark Penn" href="http://www.observer.com/2008/micro-mark" id="m3gq">interview with Mark Penn</a>, Clinton’s top strategist — and author of "Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow’s Big Changes — who claims he’s been misunderstood.</p>
<blockquote>[Penn] said that the emerging story line—that his poll-obsessed, microtargeting approach had produced a plodding, uninspiring campaign—was a bum rap. “The campaign has been about big goals, health care, ending the Iraq war, new energy, the future,” he said. “There was a misunderstanding that this campaign was about small things. It never was. If anything, the Obama campaign has microtargeted constituencies.” </blockquote>
<p>Is he saying the Obama camp stole his playbook?</p>

Speaking of the Clinton campaign trying to copy Obama’s success(OK, I wasn’t exactly), the campaigns were perfectly encapsulated and differentiated by Clinton’s ripoff of Obama’s, "Yes we can." Clinton’s campaign changed it to, "Yes she can."
Clinton is a fighter who will somehow magically force Congress to pass her bills. – she
Obama is actually demonstrating how he will accomplish his goals, by whipping up pressure on Congressmen from their constituants. – we

More black is white BS.
Obama built a grass roots organization that outmans Clinton’s and produces over a million donors.
Obama kept a consistant message through the months when he wasn’t given much of a chance versus Penn’s changing the message every week once they saw trouble.
Obama has a 50 state strategy. Penn is the one ignoring and dissing whole states.

"Hillary Clinton’s firewalls…"? Interesting metaphor. Would that be anything like ‘shock and awe’? Hillary likes that ‘shock and awe’ crap. Oh yes, she senatorially votes aye every time! Can we all say warmongering lunatic? Can we all say genocidal crazy woman? Can we all say Vince Foster? I knew that we could!

Holly, the story I’d love to see from you if/when HRC loses is what happens to Penn’s clientele. Did Shrum suffer after the Kerry loss?
