Clinton Campaign Memos Not Very Presidential
By Don | August 12, 2008
Thanks to Josh Green of the Atlantic we now have the opportunity to read HRC's campaign memos.
Here's just one example of the campaign mindset.
“The Plan,” October 2006
Clinton had forbidden her advisers from openly discussing her presidential ambitions until after she’d won reelection to the Senate. But behind the scenes, planning was already underway. In this October 2006 strategy memo, Mark Penn sketched out the campaign’s strategic principles (“HRC is the power candidate”) and assessed potential opponents. He worried that Al Gore was “waiting to swoop in later.”
The memos would probably make good material for a television mini-series.
