| Pollster and "strategist" Mark Penn, the man who billed tens of millions of dollars for services that drove a fantastically well financed and staffed campaign, a campaign that was considered all but "inevitable", off a cliff, the man who did not realize that Democrats award their presidential primary delegates proportionally and lost to a black guy named "Hussein", has just released a new poll. He asked a bunch of other super pros like himself what the super-duperest ad of the 2008 presidential cycle was.
Winner? Mark Penn.
Politics magazine is out with the results of their 2008 campaign poll of political insiders. The choice for the best ad of the presidential race? "3 a.m." of course -- the Hillary Clinton commercial that was the brainchild of chief strategist Mark Penn. The firm that conducted the Internet poll of 475 current Politics subscribers? Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates -- the polling firm founded by (you guessed it) Mark Penn.
Sometimes, the punchlines write themselves. |
