Hillary did nothing wrong ...

Someone posed the question, what is one thing thing Hillary made a mistake with in her candidacy ...

One thing does not win or lose an election ... And, we can all second guess things she did or did not do, but in the end, the reason she lost the nomination bid was that she simply was beat by a once in a generation type of candidate ...

YES, I hated her campaign the last few months, but really, it was all she could do to try to muck out a win ... And, NO Karl Rove, for christ sakes, was NOT right in saying she should have gone negative earlier ... Her negativity did VERY little to help her, a good bit to dust up BO, but as much as it might have helped her win a few states, it also hurt her just as much or more along the way ...

Bottom line ... Barrack Obama has RELENTLESSLY run a high minded campaign, almost every time taking the high road, and with the aftermath of two terms of the biggest disaster of a president we will have seen in our lives, and a congress that was run into the ground by the Rs, the country simply was primed for a campaign the likes of which BO ran - which was a reflection of who he is as a person, positive and uplifting ...

Any other cycle, any other opponent, and Hill would have been our horse ...

Perhaps he ran a high minded campaign, but some think his supporters did not. Time to heal and move on.

they would rather have a Republican in the Oval Office.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

If anything we should all be amazed and completely pumped to learn that it is possible for a candidate to run on positive ideas, stay largely above the mud slinging, suffer the usual Rovian slings and arrows from within the Party and without, and still emerge the victor.

Honestly, how many of us thought that was possible?

How many of us thought we would ever see that in our lifetimes?

I certainly did not. It makes me prouder of my country than I have been for a long time.

take the OP's wording as a negative.

Sorry.

everything she did was wrong, on so many levels.

Hillary did plenty wrong.

I was watching and listening.

It was a train wreck.

I do not HATE her. I just think her campaign style was vitriolic.

But its quite clear to me that her staff is inferior to Obamas. Obama didn't drum the grassroots campaign up all by himself.
Maybe she still would have lost, because I agree for a large part that she might just have been the victim of the circumstances that Obama brought to the table. But something tells me she might have done it with a better staff and better advisors.

And it's why she can't be President. And neither could Kerry, and neither could Edwards.
