Penn Still In?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Bad Decisions, Hillary

Yep, I’m talking about Mark Penn a lot, but this guy is special in the worst sort of way. And I can’t believe, that after all of the embarrassment he has caused this campaign, that they’re still keeping him on as senior advisor.

From Marc Ambinder:

Demoted Hillary Clinton strategist Mark Penn may no longer have the coveted title of chief strategist, but he remains a key member of the campaign’s senior staff.

Mr. Penn took part on the campaign’s morning message call this morning, as usual.

This afternoon, he is also scheduled to be on a call with Clinton and other aides to begin to prepare for Saturday’s presidential debate in Philadelphia.

Mr. Penn “is still going to be very much involved,” a senior campaign official said.

They’d do well to throw this guy out of the campaign completely. Unfortunate to see that’s not the case.
