yeah, Mark Penn, the strategic mistake.
Most if not all of her advisors are just terrible and horribly overpaid. You're right, she could have won this easily.
But her campaign was so arrogant to think they had it in hand, they failed to plan past Feb 5th both in terms of caucuses, fundraising....
And thats why she's behind. Its not fair to make the same comparison, but its not much different than Bush not planning past toppling Saddam.
Short sighted people (which Hillary was in this primary) tend to end up with egg on their faces.
Political Science professors make a living out of explaining campaigns... the efficacy and failure... both in the classroom and in books... This primary season will be a goldmine for them.
The nice thing is that, from a purely scholarly standpoint, the Obama campaign makes for a good study in how to run a campaign. The bad thing is that the Clinton campaign is the opposite. Obama is doing well as a result of his campaign... Clinton is doing well despite hers...
sorry to disagree with you, really. but "..And that's why she's behind....they failed to plan past feb 5th...caucuses, fundraising".
i think she might be behind because voters believe that sen obama is a better candidate. the fact that she is behind cannot be blamed only on strategic problems.
strategic mistake. A walking, muttering one. Something about insignificant this and that.
