Hillary Clinton Watch: Chief Strategist Mark Penn is OUT
Hillary Clinton and Mark Penn (insert)
Mark Penn, Chief strategist for the Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign is out – either forced out or shamed out.
Mark Penn, the pollster and senior strategist for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential bid, left the campaign Sunday after it was disclosed he met with representatives of the Colombian government to help promote a free trade agreement Clinton opposes.
“After the events of the last few days, Mark Penn has asked to give up his role as chief strategist of the Clinton Campaign,” campaign manager Maggie Williams said in a statement released Sunday. “Mark, and Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign.”
Communications director Howard Wolfson and pollster Geoff Garin will direct the campaign’s message and strategic efforts for the campaign going forward, Williams said.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Penn, who serves as chief executive of public relations giant Burson-Marsteller, met with Colombian officials March 31 to help craft strategy to move the Colombian Free Trade agreement through Congress. Penn later issued a statement apologizing for the meeting, calling it an “error in judgment.”
But the apology evidently wasn’t sufficient. Aides said both Hillary and Bill Clinton were deeply angry upon hearing of the meeting and that Penn was quickly pushed to leave.
The end of the line for Penn and the disastrous Presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton is coming to an end soon anyway. Hillary Clinton has a very slim chance in capturing the nomination.
Obama has a double digit lead in North Carolina while Hillary is barely hanging on in Pennsylvania.
So, just as well for Penn.
Too bad he lost a client – but that is politics.

Condoleezza Rice Watch: Vice President Condi?
Matt Drudge has it up and Dan Senor has the poop:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is actively courting the Vice Presidential nomination, according to Republican Strategist Dan Senor. “Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this,†Senor said this morning on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.â€
According to Senor, Rice has been cozying up to the Republican elite. “There’s this ritual in Washington, the Americans for Tax Reform, which is headed by Grover Norquist, he holds a weekly meeting of conservative leaders, about 100, 150 people, sort of inside, chattering, class types,†Senor explained. “They all typically get briefings from political conservative leaders. Ten days ago, they had an interesting visit. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The first time a Secretary of State has visited the Wednesday Meeting.â€
An excellent candidate but is she too close to President Bush for the GOP and John McCain’s liking? Rice is from California and would appeal to those moderate and independent voters in the Golden State.
However, Rice is pro-choice on abortion and will run into trouble with conservatives on this issue. Plus, she lacks executive experience.
Rice is an accomplished Secretary of State but Flap thinks there are better Vice Presidential choices for Senator McCain.

Mohammed Cartoon Watch: 25,000 Pakistanis Protest Geert Wilder’s Fitna and Mohammed Cartoons
Supporters of Pakistan’s largest Islamic party Jamate-e-Islami burn the effigy of Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders during a rally in Karachi, April 6, 2008.
Over 25,000 Pakistanis protested today over Geert Wilder’s film, Fitna and the Mohammed Cartoons.
More than 25,000 people rallied Sunday in the largest protest in Pakistan so far against an anti-Koran film made by a Dutch lawmaker, urging their government to expel the Netherlands ambassador.
“They call this freedom of expression, but it’s freedom of aggression,” keynote speaker Munawwar Hasan, a leader of the main Islamic party Jamat-e-Islami, told the crowd as it chanted “God is great.”
Wearing head bands inscribed “We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the sanctity of the prophet,” they marched for two kilometers (more than a mile), then gathered on Karachi’s main street to listen to speeches.
They also burned an effigy of Wilders as speakers said their government should sever diplomatic ties with Western countries supporting the publishers of cartoons defaming the Prophet Muhammad.
Don’t these fools realize that others in the Western world are criticizing their religion for its hypocrisy especially regarding political, religious tolerance and violence?
Let them protest Wilder’s film and the Danish cartoonists but should others protest or criticize Islam – then off with their head.
Ridiculous if not so sadly pathetic……

And, here is Fitna that is causing all of the protests:

John McCain Watch: California in Play?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoaiI7Q6ApI[/youtube]
John McCain on Fox News Sunday, April 6, 2008
John McCain on Fox News Sunday this morning alludes to the fact that independent voters might give him the nod in California and that Democrats should not take the Golden State for granted.
“California can no longer be written off in my view,” McCain said. “And that means going to all parts of that state and reaching out to Hispanic voters, independents, others.”
Now, whether McCain will be speeding up and down The 5 on the Straight Talk Express in late October is an open question.
But it’s apparent that the candidate — who has a place on Coronado and has been called “the third senator from California” — wants to at least give it a shot.
Should Barack Obama receive the nomination over Hillary Clinton, McCain has a shot at California. Hispanic voters (at least the ones Flap knows) like McCain and are so so to mistrustful of Obama.
At this stage of the campaign, McCain needs California’s prolific donors to refuel his coffers and what better way to do it than to promise more campaigning in their state.
Flap doubts California will turn red this Fall but the combination of McCain vs. Obama might do it.

Day By Day by Chris Muir April 6, 2008
The Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid NEED America to lose in Iraq to validate a political strategy to win the White House this Fall.
So, they warn Petraeus to NOT tell the truth?
Flap thought Harry Reid, over a year ago, said the Iraq War was LOST?

To the Democrats, George Bush and Dick Cheney are “chickenhawks,” while John McCain is a “warmonger.” These smears are equally stupid and equally characteristic of a party that, having run out of ideas long ago, now subsists on hate.
