1. Iraq war vote 2. Arrogance 3. Falsely thought she was entitled 4. No campaign strategy after Feb 5th 5. Being advised by Washington "insiders" who could not think "outside" the box.
She didn't compete between Super Tuesday on February 5th & Ohio/Texas on March 4th. She lost 11 straight primaries, and that allowed Obama to build up an insurmountable delegate lead and she was playing catch-up from that point forward. She put too much stock in the big states early on instead of running a 50-state campaign. She didn't work on the smaller states until it was too late.
10. Mainly she lost because of wrong message and strategy early on.
She ran on "experience" rather than "change" and used a "big state" strategy instead of a "50 state" strategy which left her broke to soon and without a post-Super Tuesday plan.
