There is no doubt that it has been a poorly run campaign.
[snip]
As you well know, Obama has a huge lead in pledged delegates. But you might not know that nearly 90% of this lead comes from caucuses. Obama has netted 147 delegates via the caucuses alone.
It need not have been this way. Caucuses have exceedingly low turnout - and so victory depends upon organizational prowess. Clinton was poorly organized in the caucus states, and it cost her. For every caucus state she has lost, Clinton could have found enough supporters in those states to at least tied Obama. This is the case even in states where Obama would win a broad-based primary. In Kansas, for instance, Obama had about 18,000 more caucus supporters than Clinton. Grant that Kansas is a state Obama would win in a primary. Shouldn't Clinton have been able to find 18,000 more people? She received less than 10,000 votes for goodness sake!
Even more amazingly, Obama crushed her in states where Clinton probably would have won or barely lost a primary. Obama netted 15 delegates on her in Colorado. He netted 6 in Maine. I'd put the odds of Clinton winning primaries in those states at no less than 50-50. Clinton won the Texas primary outright, but Obama walked away with 9 more delegates in the caucus. Obama won 26 more delegates than Clinton in Washington state. One week later, he beat Clinton in the Washington state beauty contest by just 4 points. Clinton won a clear plurality of voters in the Nevada entrance poll, but Obama walked away with a net of one delegate.

Ping! ;)
What Went Wrong with the Clinton Campaign....
in one word.....hillary....
she is just plain unlikeable and no matter what lies she tells...the public won’t buy them the way they bought the lies of bj and now are buying the lies and pandering of b. HUSSEIN!!!!!
You know Mr. & Mrs. Clinton just can’t believe this nobody magic negro is beating Hillary.
How can the ingrates choose him when she is running?
How can the people be so stupid?
Don’t the people understand that Mrs. Clinton is the chosen one?
Don’t the people understand that Mrs. Clinton knows what is best for them?
Clinton is the Democrats only hope of stopping a President McDole, Obama is too soured by those in his social circles, Rev, Wife, Rezko, ect.
Dogs and their owners invariably grow to look like one another, after a few years. ;)
Well I live in moonbat central and maybe it’s different elsewhere but here Clinton lost before the contest started when she tried to move to the center.
Problem #1: Hillary Rodham Clinton
Problem #2: Bill Clinton
Given those two problems, it is hard to make a candidacy work.
Oh? Welcome to Seattle. ;)
The total populations of the states Clinton has won are significantly greater than the populations of the states Obama has.
Clinton is right when she claims her wins are bigger than Obama’s.
True, but (in the final analysis) largely irrelevant, really. States won by Cankles such as, for instance, California and New York will unquestionably end up going for the Democratic nominee, no matter which one of them (Hillary or Obama) it ends up being. Her argument — essentially, “only I can win the biggest electoral prizesn out there” — doesn’t really hold much water. (Throw in Illinois, which is Obama’s for the asking, and you have three of the top five electoral plums, right there.) ;)
It is UNBELIEVABLY MIND BOGGLING
That ANY
sentient creature
could imagine
that her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous
would run the country better than she has
destructively mangled her own campaign.
Have the puppet masters already reduced 98% of the nation into mindless vacuum headed sheeple?
Is it in the toothpaste? Transmitting from cell-phone towers . . .
How DO
they DO
THAT!?
The fierce demonic evil and meanness of Shrillery is worse.
Maybe not by several horse lengths but at least by a horse’s rear’s worth.
She’d rush us into the global government at the speed of light.
Obumma would be somewhat slower.
hillereeee is worse. Always has been from the time old impeached willie became prez. I woudln’t vote for her no way no how. Obama...he’ll win the nomination and I personally will be so glad to see hilllleree the arrogant one go down to defeat.
