A true head-scratcher

From Mark Penn, head pollster for Hillary Clinton:

“Winning Democratic primaries is not a qualification or a sign of who can win the general election. If it were, every nominee would win because every nominee wins Democratic primaries.”

Um....yes, that is technically true. But the easy follow-up:

"However, losing Democratic primaries is strongly correlated with not being able to win elections."

(I can't take credit for that zinger. I found it on this website.)

Is the Clinton camp this desperate for any positive spin? Wow.
