In the wake of Colombia-gate,
Clinton's campaign manager Maggie Williams just released the
following statement:
After the events of the last few days, Mark Penn
has asked to give up his role as Chief Strategist of the Clinton
Campaign; Mark, and Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will
continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign.
Geoff Garin and Howard Wolfson will coordinate the campaign's
strategic message team going forward.
I suppose it's as good of an excuse as any to get off a sinking
ship. Clinton campaign conference calls will never be the same.
