She is a compulsive lair, like the movie Lair Lair. she is. In trying to divert her misspeaking she came on on Jay Lenos' and mocked herself on the sniper fire. maybe she is a natural comedian and don't know it. she can exploit it and be world wide and probably fullfill her power ambitions by been seen nation wide. And now we give you the funny and hillarious, Hiiillary !!!!!!!!!

Good grief! It's times like these that make me want to kick myself again and again for voting for her. I hope the next 10 states left to vote realize that she is not the candidate we want to send to the general election. My state had to vote much earlier and prior to all of these adolescent miscalculations and poor management of her campaign. But PA, NC and you others have had a chance to see this. Vote Obama!!

Well, the Democratic Party is really making fools of itself now.

Half of them will vote McCain if Obama wins.

The other half will vote McCain if Clinton wins.

What a bunch of idiots! McCain gets the red carpet to the White House.

Nader'08 anyone?

Timing is everything – I guess the current debacle involving Mark Penn and the Colombians is supposed to deflect attention from the brewing controversy regarding specifics of the Clinton's income that they finally graced us with late Friday evening (also strategically timed), as well as the fact that they still have not produced their income tax info for 2007. This attempt at appeasing John Q public with half -truths is an insult to our collective intelligence.

Mark Penn's company specializes in POLLING.

So, it's true, Hillary's values and policies are all based on what the latest polls say is popular.

So, I guess the latest POLL says Mark Penn is a liability – so he must be fired!

I wander if Hillary got the other POLL that says she needs to get out of the race!

Mark Penn didn't step down, he was fired. He had better be careful that he doesn't commit suicide now, shot in the back of the head. The Clintons can be very dangerous people to deal with, and they must be very angry at this point and looking for somebody to take their anger out on.

Hillary Clinton couldn’t run a popcorn stand, much less a campaign. This kind of experience disqualifies her as president.

If she is a highly respect-worthy woman, Bill wouldn't dare to hurt her. She extrimely gets used to cheating and being cheated. It's too hard to respect her. At least for Presiden of USA, we need someone to respect.

I am so disgusted by the hate filled comments made by these Obama supporters. All they have done by their constant bashing of Clinton is to make it impossible for me to ever vote for Obama....Ever. There is always Ralph Nadar or the option of just not voting for President this time around....This from a life long Democratic. Go ahead pretend that Obama is not just another Chicago Pol....Snappy speaches do not a leader make. The swift boaters will eat him alive.

First the feary tale, in NH, the Jesse Jackson in NC, the as far as I know on Obama being of the Christian Faith, Then the Bosina glich, coming under sniper fire, later the pregnant lady not been given atention in an area hospital, now her chief campaign strategist. Is this the experience she can show for the 35 yrs. she claimes to have and cannot even keep her finances straight, her speeches and remaks truthful. I can imagine the termoil in the WH the first day if she ever get elected whick I strongly doubt. Get real Mss Rodham Clinton!

For months I've been complaining about Mark Penn AND Howard Wolfson...particularily their connection to Burson-Marsteller...both high ranking executives of a firm we all should look into. This company is known for doing business with all kinds of questionable companies/people. None of this is news to the Clinton's. Besides the fact that Wolfson is still on board, so is
Penn as he is still doing polling work for Hillary. What kind of punishment is that? All Hillary cares about is perception and ground
control. Wake up America, Ms. Clinton seldom follows the rules. To lie about Bosnia, then lie about lying is SO her. Billary thinks they are above the rules. Senator Obama will not call her on her misdeeds unless he is attacted personally. He is trying his hardest to run a issue's based campaign. This is why the GOP is so desperate (Rush Limbaugh voter reg. caper) to run against Hillary in Nov. Her actions now and in the past are so numerous the GOP will have a field day if she is the Dem.candidate. Heaven help us. The GOP certainly won't.
The list of improper/and perhaps even illegal activities attributed to Bilarry will be a gift to the GOP and we will end up with 4 more years just like the last 7 &1/2. A draft is sure to follow a republican win. How else can they man the next 100 years? How old are your children? How old are your grandchildren? Think about it.

By law, all lobyist must register with the federal govt. They also must declare who they are lobying for.

HELLLLOOOO!!!! Will you people wake up!!! Penn is still working with the Clinton campaign. It doesn't matter that his title has changed, if he worked for a company and he "resigned" he wouldn't get a new title. He'd get sent packing with a building security guard to escort him from the grounds!!! The Clintons think that people are stupid, and if anyone votes for Hillary, you just proved the Clintons right!

I keep seeing people blaming CNN for all of the negative publicity Hillary gets. Why blame CNN when it is her and her campaing that are giving them the amunition. CNN is just relating the campaign news as it happens. They do it to and for both sides. Hillary's has just screwed up more, and been caught in more "mispokes" than Obamas.

The Columbians just wast the same deal from Hillary that Bill gave to Mexico and Canada. Why is it that the Clintons and the foreign lobbiest are the only ones making out on these unfair deals? We saw what Happened to the Auto Industry, and the rest of the country that has suffered because of the Clinton trade deals. Get ready Pa. your next on their agenda.

As David Gergen tells of her private misgivings about NAFTA as public citizen and First Lady, she said nothing about it at the time; just as she could have said more about her misgivings about giving Bush a blank ticket to go to war. HRC today is a political aspirant who has morphed into centrist, hawkish, blue-collar Clinton – who will do whatever it takes to TRY to get the nomination. She's a blue collar working person???... Let's say, "a corporate suit." No more charades.

I suspect the story given here about the resignation is a cover for the real issue – the clinton campaign can no longer afford Penn's high salary, and he is not about to work for them out of, um, idealism.

Hillary promised today that there would be more "twist and turns" in this campaign... so she dropped from her tear jerking routine a fairy tail story of the death of a pregnant woman and then got rid of her chief polster and strategist. Congratulations Hillary... you finally have gotten something right.

This is called an implosion!

How could she runs the country if she couldn't even manage her own campaign team??

Hillary Clinton LIES about her experience, snipers, healthcare stories and when she is caught telling a LIE, she LIES to cover the LIE. I hope Americans do not forget that if Hillary wins we have not just one LIAR in the white house but remember LYING Bill who is such a LIAR. Remember the American public was LIED to in order to get into the Iraqi war, so I do not believe we want another president that is a LIAR. CLINTONS are LIARS.

This is huge. I can't imagine a worse time for Hillary's campaign to be shook up to this degree. If a campaign is any indication of a cabinet or White House, then it is obvious that Obama is a superior executive. Why isn't this pointed out more often by the punditry?

You people who are talking about the hypocricy of Clinton are ridiculous. Mark Penn is only part of the company, Penn, Schoen, and Berland that does Ms. Clinton's polling. The fact that the company is staying on the campaign to do polling for it isn't at all hypocritical of the Clinton campaign. People other than Mark Penn do the polling. The fact that she is continuing to use this company to do her polling makes since because the work that the polling company has done has nothing to do with what Mark Penn says.

You people need to learn how a political campaign works.

I wonder why CNN never checks the people that are behind the Obama campaign. Oh yea I forgot CNN is trying to get Obama elected. I guess SNL will have to do another skit or have Lou Dobbs talk to them. Lou Dobbs is the only one that tells it like it is. Is the Obama campaign paying CNN? I know they have a direct line to you and tell you what to say. When 76% of the people say CNN shows favortism to Obama, you would think they would change the way they report the news. Everyday its Clintons, never Obama. When this is over Clinton should sue you for deflamation of character. You are supposed to tell the news not promote a candidate. I have never seen a news network do anything like you are doing in my life.

They keep saying that Hillary has been Vetted, that may be so, but it's all the new stupid stuff they do that gets them now. Look at their history, of course the Clinton's will do something stupid.

After the lies of Bosnia, Nafta, and the mismanaging of money and campagin. After firing what seems like half her staff as well as the hiding of her taxes for so long as well as not relasing her ear marks or list of donors to the library, as well as not being able to control her own husband in the white house. Just a small list of things that make me wonder what a person would see in this lady. Then the comments of people saying that they would vote for Mccain if Obama is the winner are just laughable. You would go from voting for one candidate who is very similar to Obama to someone who is completely diffrent in view. If this is the case what is ur base for voting for someone? It shows how shallow a person is if you are voting for someone else becuz your candidate lost then that is sad

Hey Hillary,

The only thing I want to see you spend time on is planning to tell the American people about your real experience – wife of a Dem Prez who cost the party its Congressional majority in the 90's, the appointments of Alito and company and the person responsible for setting the cause of national health insurance back 15 years!

Joke or not – every time the going gets tough you roll out the gender issue!! I'm not worried about how you look, only how you think. Face up to it, the majority of Dems have had enough of you and Bill!

What will be interesting is not whether the news media pick up an run with this story, as well they should. But if those Americans, who have not yet voted, or those "undecided" delegates are paying enough attention to the constant lies, misspoken words, untrue stories, "everyone else's fault", mismanagement, manic/depressive behavior, to recognize a real, true, LOSER when one is presented everyday to them. I am from Nebraska and hope Pennsylvania voters "wake up" to the real issues of Clintons lies before its to late.
