Clinton Campaign A Study In Missteps

The Hillary Clinton campaign will be studied, and talked about for years to come, as one of the worst run campaigns in modern political history. It's a laundry list of 'what-not-to-do's' , and its a very clear example of how poor Hillary's judgement is. She picked this cast of dysfunctional characters to advise her and now she's reaping the negative returns of all their failed ideas and strategies. Even you Clinton supporters have to wonder how she could have made so many mistakes. This election WAS Hillary's to lose - and she lost it.

All you need to know about the Clinton Presidency is that they knew all about the horrific genocide in Rwanda and ignored it. Detailed declassified documents are damning in the extreme.

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-) If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience. You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history. You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people. You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

I for one am not going to be watching the debates. I have seen 20 too many. I also don't want to watch her either glaring at Obama with contempt or telling him what a pleasure it has been to be on stage with Barack Obama.

She loves throwing rocks from the GLASS house she resides!!! Her claim as her presidency as a CEO job has proved she cannot run a business or campaign from day one, two, three strikes your out HRC!!!

flattering pic of hillary for this post.

i understand obama wants to stay above the fray and run a pretty clean campaign, which he, for the most part, has managed to do. however, i think he could possibly win or keep it within a few points in PA if he would run ads hammering hillary on her NAFTA bs, as well as the conflict of interest regarding Colombia. It would just be pointing out the truth with facts to back it up.

if it were up to me i would run ads day & night showing her getting off the plane in Bosnia with background sound of her lying about the trip.

of course i can be a real prick.

Sen. Obama pledged to support the winner of the campaign for nomination. What would Hillary do?
Disenfranchise all the people who voted for Sen. Obama by winning from second place as decided by some secret vote? Tell all her supporters (even though she finishes second place) that the race was unfair, FL and MI did not vote, poor her (cry). Obama has followed the DNC rules all along. Hillary has until they did not suit her.

Will Hillary tell her voters to vote for McBush? After all she repeatedly claimed only he and her were qualified. She has run a dirty campaign and it will not end well for her unless they give her a important position of power. After all she deserves it, right? Why??

She ought to bow out gracefully now. She cannot win, and she is turning Democrats against each other.

American Postal Workers Union Endorse Obama

The union, which claims to be the largest postal union in the world, said its executive board voted to endorse Obama today.

"We are most impressed by Sen. Obama's commitment to eradicating the undue influence of special interests in the political process, union president William Burrus said in a statement. "Our current political system does not allow for the voices of average citizens to be heard over the demands of lobbyists and big-money campaign contributors."

American Postal Workers Union announces its executive board voted to endorse the Illinois Senator Wednesday. (300,000 members). Hillary and McCain supporters: No mail for you!

I think Hillary's problem is two-pronged, though each is related to the other.

She really did think she'd win the nomination on Super Tuesday, so she didn't plan for anything beyond that, or if she did, she was assuming she'd be far ahead and staying ahead would be cheap and easy.

The second part of the problem is that she chose an EXTREMELY unfortunate campaign centerpiece -- her "experience", which was primarily ceremonial as FL, certainly not indicative of political experience. Her one fling at political experience was her attempt to develop a Health Care program for America, and that failed miserably. Furthermore, she claimed she'd been vetted, but boy, was she wrong! Instead, a close look at her record puts her as close to George Bush's agenda as she can be and still claim to be a Democrat.

Her campaign missteps are above and beyond these factors, and they will no doubt do her in.

But she isn't operating in a vacuum. Obama's campaign is NOT ugly politics (one of HRC's "missteps", which she continues to commit). He represents something very personal to people, something people may be shy about expressing for fear of being laughed at -- maybe their best selves. To many people Obama is not perfect, but he is someone America can be proud of after 8 years of GW Bush's destruction of what has made America great. It is this connection with Americans that draws people to Obama, maybe more than anything else.

Of course!

Obama was the "inevitable" candidate.

Hillary is the relative unknown who has come from way behind to *almost* overtake him.

She's so plucky!

At some point in time it is probably worth pointing out that not everyone who supports the candidate you do not support is somehow either not intelligent, too young or whatever. There are many thoughtful, intelligent people who are supporting both candidates whose opinion deserves respect. So I think the debates on these blogs need to turn less attack like as we near a conclusion and people should start thinking about what to do if their candidate is not selected.

As a Barack supporter, I would like to offer to a HRC supporter that if Barack wins the nomination you consider the fact they did run a really great campaign as evidence he would be a good leader. Especially considering how you went from HRC's inevitability to where we are now.

Please forget the filtered articles as to why one candidate is bad, or a liar, or whatever and really decide for yourself. Voting for a candidate out of spite against your own self interest is really counterproductive.

Peace!

Either way, the republicans don't have a chance. There is NO WAY McCain is going to win. Look at voter turn out. Which democrat is more electable is a non-issue. Hillary Clinton is a scandalous liar, but she'd beat McCain. The American people would elect a retarded, one armed monkey over a rebulican. But enough about Hillary

Clinton -- both Hill & Bill = hubris personified.

After the "inevitability" theme failed and Obama began to surge, she didn't (and obviously still doesn't) know what to do.

She's tried it all . . . tears, fake southern accent, fake cowgirl accent, lie after lie . . .

What's she going to do when she loses the nomination? She was going to be the next President!! It's her RIGHT! She EARNED it by being the second-most-cheated-on-woman in history!!!

And now, not only is she NOT going to be the next President, she isn't even going to get to compete against the Republican candidate! Oh, the humiliation!
