[Skidmore]

who used show up as a campaign manager/spokesperson for Hillary? He was a former? Republican she had hired. Large rather unke?pt guy. I think his first name was Peter but am not certain. I just can't retrieve it from the memory bank. Anyone remember.

3. That's it! Well I got the "p" right.

After President Clinton was clobbered in the 1994 midterm elections and the Democrats lost control of the House, he recruited Penn, a consultant and pollster, to help him triangulate against his own party and move toward the center. Penn, a proponent of the notion that Dems should not embrace populism,

And - see how united the Party is now? Not. Not much my party, either.

9. Exactly. The tringulation went deep too.

Some really ugly things were said.
