Note to Democrats:

I will not vote for anyone that hires Mark Penn in any campaign related role. Why is that you ask? Because of this incident. That's right. Hillary is officially against a trade deal with Colombia. However, Penn (Hillary's campaign manager, no less) is negotiating with the Colombians on behalf of Burson-Marsteller. This is absolutely shameless and why I hate DLC Democratic strategists. It's impossible to take the high road in ethics debates for Democrats nowadays. The Republicans have a point in that the Democratic leadership really is no different. This isn't even close to Penn's first conflict of interest since the campaign started. At my work place, I have to do all I can to avoid incidents like this. The Penn wing of the Democratic Party goes out of its way to find these COIs. So from on, I'm warning every Democrat. If you embrace Mark Penn or Terry McAuliffe, I will not vote for you.
