Getting his "perception management" groove on, Clinton chief-strategist, Mark Penn, today lobbed the meme-theme of their triangulation strategy: "Senator Obama really can't win the General Election." And it's pretty clear that destroying Barack Obama's presidential bid is a project Mr. Penn has undertaken not only in the interests of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, but in service to any number of his other clients.
Other bloggers and diarists here have done more than I will attempt here to unmask the power-brokerage at work, behind the scenes, to put "our candidate" in the Oval Office. Mark Penn is but one of the players. But you don't have to dig very deep, or very long, to shutter at who is doing what in order to take Barack Obama out of the picture and get Hillary Clinton elected.

All this underlying influence peddling aside, it now increasingly clear that courting and welcoming the votes of racists and bigots -- the "Archie Bunker" strategy -- is but one of Penn's "kitchen sink" ploys bent upon destroying Barack Obama's candidacy, and delivering the goods -- the Oval Office -- to his clients.
