Mark Penn: We Should Have Contested Caucuses
Mark Penn has an interesting confession of sorts, buried towards the end of his post-game analysis of why the Clinton campaign lost: The campaign should have done a better job at contesting the caucuses.
"We should have taken on Mr. Obama more directly and much earlier, and we needed a different kind of operation to win caucuses and to retain the support of superdelegates," Penn writes.
Penn adds shortly afterward: "Given her successes in high-turnout primary elections and defeats in low-turnout caucuses, that simple fact may just have had a lot more to do with who won than anyone imagines."
