    The controversy behind Mark Penn's exit An explainer on the controversy surrounding the resignation of Hillary Clinton's chief strategist Elana Schor in Washington Mon 7 Apr 2008 18.31 BST Why did Mark Penn have to go? The abrupt exit of Hillary Clinton's chief strategist yesterday came after a series of reports on personality clashes within her campaign. But what ultimately sealed Mark Penn's doom was a meeting he took with the Colombian ambassador to the US to promote a free trade agreement with the South American nation.Penn's lobbying firm, Burson-Marsteller, had a $300,000 contract with Bogota to help win the US Congress' approval of the trade deal. Businesses are eager to lower tariffs on exported goods to Colombia, particularly in the midst of a recession, but working-class voters – the core of the Democratic party – are strongly opposed to the trade deal. Clinton is promising workers in Pennsylvania, where the next make-or-break primary occurs in two weeks, that she will help them recover from the demoralising job losses wrought by past free trade pacts. When her top adviser was caught out promoting a trade agreement that Clinton tells voters she wants no part of, the risk of looking dishonest to the voters was too great. Penn had to step aside.
