For a campaign that sends out so many long emails (and so many emails, period), the announcement from For a campaign that sends out so many long emails (and so many emails, period), the announcement from Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams that Mark Penn is departing from his role as top strategist was notably brief:
After the events of the last few days, Mark Penn has asked to give up his role as Chief Strategist of the Clinton Campaign; Mark, and Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign. Geoff Garin and Howard Wolfson will coordinate the campaign's strategic message team going forward.
Surely more details will shake out shortly. And surely there are plenty of folks who think this departure has been a long time coming.
