Reply #19: Her campain was poorly run after Obama started coming on strong [View All]

They didn't think he was a factor. So they didn't think they had any real competition. And when he won so many states on Super Tuesday, they were caught flat footed.

There response to him just wasn't that substantial. The kitchen sink strategy should never have included the perception that the race card was included. To me, she seemed knocked back on her heels just when he hit his stride of confidence and was walking and talking tall.

It all converged against her with the money problem and the Penn problem. They never could regroup enough to gather back broad appeal and convince the nation that she was the best choice.

I should be in her demographic. I'm a sixty one year old white woman who supported the Clintons throughout the 90s even though I disagreed on NAFTA & the welfare reforms. But she just didn't catch on with me the way Obama did.
