Hillary's Campaign

Final thoughts on the Hillary campaign, I think that Hillary did not do a good job in building it. She became the inevitable candidate very early on, and the old hands signed up more in order to promote themselves than to promote her. This led to considerable infighting, positioning and leaks. They fought on doggedly because they simply could not believe they could lose, and that the old hands were making a last stand for their careers.

All said such a team would have served the country very ill. Hillary might have won, with a smaller majority then Obama, but so far the Obama campaign has shown far greater efficiency than one could have reasonably expected from Clinton.
