Hillary made a drastic mistake in this campaign, sticking with an incompetent group at the top for way too long. Even Ronald Reagan decided to fire his campaign manager after he lost Iowa to George H.W. Bush. In 2000, George W. Bush fired the operative that had been in charge in New Hampshire after losing to John McCain, and completely retooled his campaign theme and message. Hillary fired nobody after Iowa and made no changes in her theme or message. Not only did that leave the troops further down dispirited, it led to a false sense of security at the top that there was nothing really wrong with their strategy.
This is going to go down as a clear case of campaign mismanagement, among the worst in modern political history. Sure, Hillary was a flawed candidate, but not so badly flawed that she should have lost the nomination to a neophyte like Barack Obama.

It’s mean-spirited of me, but I’d like to see each and every one of these vile apparatchiks spends the rest of their miserable lives on a sidewalk, with a tin can and a cardboard sign.
Hillary's s trying to top Giuliani's disastrous campaign. Rudy was "saving" himself" for later, too---he campaigned in must-win Fla 61 days straight and finished a distant third. The more Giualini campaigned, the more voters were repulsed by him.
Although Hill can't top Giuliani in the delegate count---he spent $60 million and got only one delegate.
The controlled way Hillary speaks indicates a deep anger hiding inside. The way she greets voters with that deer in the headlights look must be off-putting in person.
Might think 1-2 of the 700 people she has working for her would have told her----then again, they were all operating on the belief that she was "inevitable."
