The Lost Art of Political Prognostication
Here's a little quote from one Mark Penn, who I believe was paid a lot of money for his political savvy by a Democratic candidate for president back during the primaries.
"All of these articles about his boyhood in Indonesia and his life in Hawaii are geared towards showing his background is diverse, multicultural and putting that in a new light. Save it for 2050 ... I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and values. The right knows Obama is unelectable except against Attila the Hun," - Mark Penn, March 19, 2007.
Apparently the GOP did run Attila the Hun.
though I must protest the unwarranted slur on the reputation of great leader who cared deeply for his people and has never received the recognition he deserves: Attila, aka "Little Father," aka Etzel.

Hmm, according to the LA Times, now that Clinton has written off the $13 million she loaned her own campaign,she's left owing about $6.3 million -- $5.4 of it to Penn!!

There is the theory that what you get for that kind of money is a smart person who is willing to say anything for his candidate. Which is why whenever I see a news cast interviewing a campaign person I stop listening.
