There is no doubt that it has been a poorly run campaign.

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.

1. Because she isn't Bill.
2. And Bill's legacy isn't that good with the voters.
3. She kept all of the men from Bill's past campaigns out of her inner circle.
4. And all her amateur femonazi circle thought she was going to a coronation. They didn't even plan beyond Super-Tuesday and have been playing catch-up, badly, since then.
But she was entitled to it!!!
She might keep it together for public appearances. But behind the scenes she’s going to be in a MURDEROUS rage.
Maybe the secret service could enlist the help of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to protect our own Hussein.
Are you saying Hillary tells Barak: "Mine's bigger than yours!"? :0)
Isn’t he just creepy???
Foreign persons can't contribute to Republican campaigns.
I think you nailed it!
My daughter had the misfortune of meeting him back in '98. She said he has very creepy eyes.
I saw Elton on some awards show. They had to pixilate the necklace he was wearing that day. I later read somewhere that it said, "C--KS--ker." Class act that.
May not hold true in all cases but it seems that for the most part hitlery is winning the states where labor unions hold sway and obamarama is winning the non union states.
Isn’t he just creepy???
Makes Norman Bates look like George Patton.
Funny you should say that - I've been thinking for weeks that McCain dusted off Bob Dole's campaign playbook and is running it play for play.
Considering that about every other word out of Billy's mouth is a lie, she thought she'd follow suit, only she's not as talented a liar as Bubba.
ouch. nice.
“Wanna bet that, if Obama does win the presidency, we will see Michelle O running for the Senate after her stint as First Lady?”
...think “Sherry Palmer” from Sessions 1 & 2 of Fox’s “24”...only in real life.
Nothing. It’s been perfect.
I think you got it. She thought Bill could get away with it (”I did not have sex with that woman”) so why not her. The press should have let her get away with it. It was her DUE!
