Breaking on CNN: Mark Penn departs

[malaise]

from Camp Hillary.

1. Oh I hope so. Something has to give.

[Warpy]

2. YES! YES! YES!

She's getting killed by that campaign team. Let's hope Mary Beth Cahill isn't around to take over.

[rocktivity]

3. Actually, he's changing his job title to "pollster and advisor"

Which doesn't mean he's changing his job duties. So Hillary saves a little campaign money, though having her campaign run by someone paid to promote mercenaries and NAFTA doesn't reflect well on her judgment.

4. Another Camp Clinton Hail Mary...

This is too little too late...that Colombian story must be hurting and he can't fudge the numbers this time. In the end they always seem too smart by half.

Penn became a major distraction. Betcha can't name a "strategist" in the Obama campaign or anyone elses. He's been radioactive for a while and it's another last inning attempt to do something/anything to keep the donor money flowing.

In a simple, short and not-so sweet message, Hillary Clinton's campaign announced minutes ago that Mark Penn was out as her chief political strategist. The announcement came in a brief statement from Maggie Williams, the campaign's new manager, who replaced Patti Solis Doyle in a previous shakeup this winter.

11. Did he even have a choice considering the circumstances?

Good, and that was a rhetorical question.

12. It's just a title change

It's getting harder to tell which is more despicable... clintonian or rovian
