Well, she should have seen it coming, if only because Obama's candidacy was so remarkably similar to Bill Clinton's in 1992. The same themes -- youth, vigor, hope, and change. The same promises (remember "the most ethical administration in history?"). New, hip, happening.... The inevitability of Obama was obvious to anybody who could take an objective look at the electoral dynamics.
Also remember how ticked off the Clintoon’s were when Richardson didn’t endorse Hill.
