Rethink for Clinton after top strategist resigns
Okay, she's tried to campaign on her experience and readiness to lead - especially should the phone ring at 3am - but now Hillary, who has no experience of taking a 3am phone call in the White House other than to immediately hand it to her husband and say, "Bill, it's for you!", has decided to change tack.
The departure of Mark Penn is to allow Hillary to restyle herself, yet again, and now show us her softer side. Although she promises, thank the Lord,not to give up her relentless negative campaigning against Obama.
Is it just me or does this sound just as confused and contradictory as the previous calls that voters must not be disenfranchised whilst simultaneously demanding that super delegates disenfranchise them?Democratic consultants said Clinton would gradually try to shift the focus from experience and readiness to lead - Penn's vision for her candidacy - towards highlighting her more human side. But that does not mean she will stop using negative campaigning against Obama, a Democratic media consultant said.
"Now I think we will see a more uniform message," he said. "It is clearly not going to be experience - we are way past that. It could be a softer Hillary, but it might also have to be tougher on Obama. You can have both of those at the same time, a positive ad and a negative ad."
Now she's going to be soft yet hard, positive without losing any of her negativity. Hillary's campaign continues to sound bonkers.
It's also very hard to see any actual plan to overturn what her supporters call the "maths problem". The fact that in every possible scenario one can run, numbers wise, Hillary will finish this race with fewer delegates than Obama and that delegates are the way that Democrats choose their presidential nominees.
But what does that matter? Hard yet soft. Liquid yet solid. Fire, but ice. The Hillary contradiction machine rolls on, hoping to confuse us into making her the democratic presidential nominee.
See how it works, this new campaign of utter confusion? Now we even have Penn, gone, but not really gone at all. It's genius.It is also far from certain that Penn has entirely severed his ties with the Clinton campaign - despite causing her embarrassment over his contract with the Colombian government.
Williams said in her statement that Penn would continue to provide polling for Clinton. An insider said yesterday that Penn would continue to serve as a key adviser - but admitted that his opinions would not carry the same weight as before.
