As President-elect Barack Obama [3] announces his cabinet nominees [4] and prepares to take office, his former rival and Secretary of State candidate, Hillary Clinton [5], remains deep in debt. Her presidential campaign owes $5.3 million to the Penn, Schoen and Berland [6] (PSB) polling firm, which is owned by former Clinton campaign strategist and Burson-Marsteller [7] CEO Mark Penn [8]. After Clinton wrote off her own $13.1 million loan to her campaign, the campaign owes a total of $6.3 million. Meanwhile, Doug Schoen [9] has announced that he's leaving PSB. Schoen will join the Edelman [10] firm's lobbying practice in Washington DC, where he and "Democratic heavyweight" Bob Shrum [11] will be senior counselors.
