Hillary Clinton Supporters Ask: ‘How’d She Lose to This Guy?’
I have to agree with Mark Arnold. Hill at the starting block believed she had no serious competition and her staff took the early position that Obama would fade due to lack of money in the early going.
Her second mistake was to follow her husband’s game up to Super Tuesday — Ohio, PA, FL, CA as the primary wins. But the landscape changed in the interim. The western states carry more EV’s now. At the same time Obama’s war chest kept growing.
Finally her staff had no plan B when Obama had taken a reasonable lead after STues. Nor did she change her policies to position herself thereafter. So she stumbled from State to State sounding like Obama II.
I hate to say it but to a certain extent the exultations of Pflieger at the pulpit at TCC encapsulated exactly what went wrong with Hill.
