Penn Falls on His Sword

The biggest story in the blogosphere is discussion over any fallout from Mark Penn's decision to step down from his role as key adviser to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

My CQ Politics colleague David Corn says Penn's departure takes a future weapon out of Barack Obama's arsenal.

RedState's Mark Kilmer says Penn should not be blamed for Hillary's campaign troubles:

It's not Penn's fault that she failed to become her party's nominee. She is a lousy candidate. The only reason she was taken seriously is that she was Bill Clinton's wife, and that's frankly not enough. There was nothing Penn could have done.
And the Moderate Voice's Shaun Mullen says Clinton only abandoned Penn in a desperate attempt to win union support:

Shame on him, but shame on the Hero of Bosnia for once again putting loyalty ahead of everything else and only jettisoning the toxic Penn when the Pennsylvania labor unions whose votes she desperately needs in the do-or-die April 22 primary cried foul over the weekend.
