Mark Penn Out at Clinton Campaign

Long the subject of much debate, Clinton's chief strategist Mark Penn had attracted everything from wild praise to dark criticism, depending on the source. For the last several months, it was usually more criticism than praise. Late last week it came out that Mark Penn's PR firm had been working for the Colombian government in their efforts to nail down a free trade deal with the United States. Clinton opposes the deal, and the fairly quick result was Penn's resignation from his role on the campaign.
