37. But his best shot at a winning one. The fact that his gamble didn't pay off
doesn't make it any more moral. Going into the race, Clinton was set up as the establishment, centrist candidate, and Obama as the fresh-faced outsider post-partisan candidate. The only opening in the narrative was for a progressive/populist insurgent. He went to Iowa with that message, and tried to win with it. He didn't, and lost.

The fact that he managed to lose does not mean he is not a phony. Mitt Romney, for instance, will lose, and he's the phoniest man running for President. He, too, has been consistent all campaign; he, too, suddenly re-invented himself when the campaign drew near.
