Mark Penn, pollster and senior strategist for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), said Wednesday that there are no benchmarks for Super Tuesday, and he thinks “the search for delegates is going to continue… straight through to the convention.”
In a wide-ranging conference call, Penn noted that the campaign continues to enjoy the support of 6 million union workers as they move into the near-national primary next week.
That support could offset some of the help chief rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is expected to get from the endorsement of labor favorite Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Penn and spokesman Phil Singer also said they think voters are changing their minds about which candidate is playing in the mud.
Penn said Obama “does not appear to be ready to practice the new politics he talks about.”
“I think there’s a growing perception that Sen. Obama is on the attack,” Penn said. |
