In Retrospect - HRC Campaign

It is interesting to look back at Hillary Clinton's campaign and the assumptions regarding how unelectable Barack Obama was. I'm actually curious what it would be like if she had won - given all the problems we are currently facing - would we Obama supporters still be indifferent to HRC v. McCain? What kind of campaign would McCain have run against Hillary - a woman he respects as compared to a man he emphatically does not respect.

But we are fortunate to have a better choice. And Joshua Green, writing in The Atlantic, reveals some of the many errors of the Clinton campaign. The article is months old, but perhaps even more interesting now.

I think Obama is the exact right person for this time. He would not have been so good 4 years ago - now is when we need change the most, people are ready for it, and I think Obama is the right person to move past partisanship to achieve some real change. We'll see what happens - but this may be the best shot we get.
