Penn Whining about Edwards Running

The revelation of Edwards infidelity during the dem presidential primary has caused Mark Penn, Hillary's pollster/chief adviser, to gleefully daydream about a primary without Edwards:

“Most likely it would have been a two-way race and would have released a lot of voters who focused on demographics . . . voters who would later vote for Hillary Clinton.”

What a bunch of hooey. Hillary lost because she didn't compete in smaller caucuses/primary states. She lost because she was stuck on the idea that if you target only select states then you will win the primary and the presidency. 

It was a failing strategy that doomed her campaign. Not an unfaithful John Edwards.
