31. You are spot on....
Hillary could not connect with real people. She also refused to stop
hiding behind the red, velvet ropes and get real. Most of her campaigning
was well-orchestrated media events, instead of opportunities to get to know
her and ask her questions.

Her lack of honesty and openness was really a turn off. Compared with the
very-open and inspirational campaigns run by Obama, Edwards, Richardson
and others---she was a failure.

The message I got from her campaign is that she's impersonal, Bush-like
in her tactics, flat, lacking in leadership and creativity, presumptuous,
disorganized and has a real difficult time being authentic and real.

Her campaign blew two of her main assertions out of the water: That
she was inevitable and that she had the experience to lead this country.

I saw a floundering, dishonest, overly-staged candidate who planted questions
and was petulant with voters who asked her questions.

How does someone touting a mountain of experience--while criticizing other
candidates for their lack of experience--fail to run a successful campaign
in a small, rural state?
