The Daily Background

Here’s to hoping no Democrat ever hires him ever again…

Mark Penn has given up his role as chief strategist for the Clinton campaign, it was announced Sunday.

“After the events of the last few days, Mark Penn has asked to give up his role as Chief Strategist of the Clinton Campaign; Mark, and Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign,” Clinton Campaign Manager Maggie Williams said in a statement.

Sources in the Clinton campaign tell CNN’s Mike Roselli Penn realized over the weekend that he needed to step aside, and that Clinton was disappointed that he had met with the Colombians.
