While I'm a Clinton supporter I would have no problem with either Clinton or Obama answering the call (though I have less confidence after seeing his response to Chris Matthews this week! and less confidence in Clinton after her really strange 'exaggeration' of Bosnia (which was good enough on its own) despite having described it accurately in her book and knowing some hundred others were there and have memories.  

  I haven't seen why I'd feel better about her response to an emergency military situation than I would even Obama's.
  And I do not like Obama and almost surely will not vote for him in November if he insists on not divvying up Fla and Michigan in a fair way since he insisted on removing his name from one state but asked people to vote Uncommitted (he can have those then or even Gravel's, Dodd's, and Kucinich if negotiated) and he had ads playing
6-8 times a day for almost 2 weeks in Florida during the final primary days, due to cleverly buying nat'l ad packages for that time period).  No one else did that.

  His disdain for voters who might threaten the range of his lead with votes cast back in January and Certified is pure cowardice and lack of principle to me.

  Dean's RULES were artificial and quite stupid.  And the voters' rights are paramount - not to mention Dean playing into Republican hands and not caring they controlled the primary dates and he's still willing to not allow voters their votes in a situation such as we're facing.  How stupid and destructive can he be?

  My interest in seeing Clinton as president (other than Obama's behavior during the campaign which I won't go into here but it's included in my blog-reference set) is her love of details that make up tough issues but are boring to most who run for that job.  She is truly interested in the changes and HOW they can be made (and has learned, she says, her lessons from the first go 'round).

 I remember Obama in Nevada primary week at the health care event saying his staff was still preparing his health care program and it would be on his website soon.  

  Her live responses (not prepared speeches) to the crazyman Jim Cramer on the economy (April 2 and viewable in whole at nbc.com) and how we weigh the possible solutions is something neither of the other candidates could do.  She is just plain smart and super energetic.  

Sorry, but The nation's spin is meaningless here. PENN is out. That Penn's people do some polling means nothing.

Garin is calling the polling shots now.

Will Clinton take his calls now?  Maybe if she isn't too busy cleaning up his mess.

I promise this guy is toast and it is no surprise because he has proven himself to be miserably incompetent.  The Colombia deal was the straw that broke the camel's back.  He broke a cardinal rule within the PR industry by attempting to represent two clients with competing interests.

He is now at the point where he is menatlly packing up his office at Burson because it is only a matter of time before they announce a "realignment" there.

PR is a weird industry because its art is applied internally as if people on staff can't read between the lines they write everyday.  Everything is done politely and passive-aggressively.  I knew some guys who had offices and assistants for months, but just weren't given any clients or allowed to keep those they brought in.

All of a sudden no one calls, no one consults with them and it is all a waitng game on the part of management to either run their contract out or make them so crazy bored with making paper airplanes all day that they leave on their own.  That's Penn's fate based on what I've seen and I am pretty sure Senator Clinton won't be calling on him much if at all anymore.
