The News About Mark Penn Leaves Clinton

Hilary Clinton’s senior strategist, Mark Penn resigned from the campaign after it was found that he met with the Colombian government to promote a free trade agreement that Hilary Clinton is against.

Penn is the chief executive of Burson-Marsteller a Washington public relations firm that was hired to help the country of Colombia gain a bilateral trade agreement with the United States. Mark Penn had said that other members of the firm were doing the work with Colombia it was found that Penn had met with officials from Colombia last week. Hilary Clinton was angered when she found out and she insisted on Penn’s demotion.

Hilary Clinton who is looking toward the primary in Pennsylvania on April 22 and doesn’t want to linked to anything supporting the trade agreement. Voters in Pennsylvania connect foreign trade with the loss of jobs in their state and in the country.

Hilary needs this win in order to pull her campaign out of the dumps and I’m sure she hopes that the resignation of Mark Penn will give her a better chance.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About Casey Knowles’ Support Of Barack Obama

You may be asking, “Who the hell is Casey Knowles?” Well, last week before the Texas primary, Hilary Clinton’s campaign run an advert the featured an 8-year-old Casey Knowles sleeping. The ad, which was originally shot for a railroad company was bought by the Clinton camp and then used to portray Barack Obama’s lack of experience in foreign policy matters.

Well, Casey Knowles is now 18-years-old and is a staunch Obama supporter and has even been campaigning for him. This is what Casey Knowles had to say about the Clinton ad, “What I don’t like about the ad is its fear-mongering,” she said. “I think it’s a cheap hit to take. I really prefer Obama’s message of looking forward to a bright future.”

Ms Knowles, support of Obama could do some damage to the Clinton campaign. Maybe Hilary Clinton should make sure she’s using a Clinton supporter in her next ad.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About Obama And Clinton Claims Of Misdoings In Ohio And Texas

Yesterday my home state of Ohio and Texas had their primary elections and caucuses. In both states one or the other of the two Democratic candidates, Obama and Clinton, had complaints about the voting system.

In Ohio Barack Obama successfully filed a court complaint asking that some polling places be kept open late because of ballot shortages. In Texas Hilary Clinton may mount a legal challenge to the state's caucus results. Texas has a two-step election, a primary and a caucus. Clinton won the primary, but it looks like Obama has won the caucus. Clinton is claiming that Obama supporters illegally obtained caucus packets in several precincts throughout the state.

It’s all very confusing and a Clinton supporter even introduced a resolution to abolish the caucus system. Maybe the system should be abolished, but to abolish it in the middle of an election would be unfair.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About The New Hampshire Primary

Well, the results of the New Hampshire Primary are in and Hilary Clinton pulled a surprise upset over Barak Obama. McCain was able to pull out a win from the Republican Primary. But no matter how you look at the primaries the big news is going to be from the Democrats between Obama and Hilary Clinton. Never before in history has been a black candidate and a woman candidate running at the same time and that is one for the history books.

What is even bigger news is the fact that they are both front-runners for the office of President for their party. If either one wins their party nomination and then goes on to win the Presidency, it will be a history making event and it will truly mark a change in the way America thinks about race and gender.

The next primary is Michigan on the 15th of this month.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
