Re: Nobody seems to get it!

Perhaps if Mrs. Clinton had a better organized campaign, where she and her team did not underestimate Obama as a candidate and where she and her team had a plan B as in, a plan Beyond Super Tuesday, she would have been in a better position. If she hadn't ignored the so called "smaller" caucus states she would have been in a better position. Finally, if she hadn't voted in support of the war in Iraq she would have been in a better position.

She is a strong candidate. She came in with ALL the advantages; money, overwhelming superdelegate support and an instantly recognizable name. The establishment candidate. Yet she has been routed by a "neophyte". The nomination was hers to lose and that is exactly what she did. Hubris. I don't buy the gender argument. The fact is Mrs. Clinton ran a crappy campaign founded on nothing more than her hubris. The nomination was hers to lose and she lost it. She's not the first politician to have mis-read the times and to have underestimated her opponent. She certainly won't be the last.
