Winners and Losers:

Jun 28, 2008 22:58


Obama and Hillary have come to a partial agreement on her back bills; he’s suggesting to his supporters and money-men that they contribute to her now-dead campaign to help pay off her bills - NOT the money owed to her personally, but to the vendors who she owes for signs, etc. This, unfortunately, includes millions to Mark Penn and his polling firm, who probably did the most to sink her campaign. It also means that Hillary and Bill personally take about a $12 million hit.

On the other hand, reports are surfacing that Bill has not gotten with the ‘unity’ message, and basically bought into the worst of Mark Penn’s Obama-is-a-loser-who-dissed-Bill stuff. I’m not sure how well to credit this one, but it fits what I’ve heard elsewhere enough that I’d not be surprised at all. The Obama camp’s approach is that they hope Bill will come around, and they’ll do what they can to improve relations, starting with Hillary. So We’ll See.
