She was picking up a lot of momentum with her populist message (even if it was pandering, like the gas tax holiday) and driving up Obama's negatives with her divisive personal attacks. Then his campaign went on a kitchen sink strategy of distractions. Her campaign's conference calls were no longer attacking Obama personally, but were addressing little issues like Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos to issues like FL and MI. This is why she got creamed in Oregon. Undecideds in Oregon could care less if some big shot delegates in Florida are seated at the convention. That doesn't help them with gas prices, the economy, or the Iraq War. She really got off message and she ended up paying for it big time.

Can you imagine if the Puerto Rico Primary was before the Rules & Bylaws Committee meeting? I'd love to see her stump speech in Puerto Rico begging to have the FL and MI delegates seated. It would make for some good comedy. :rofl:

She's also digging herself a hole with the supers, and Obama knows this. Some of her superdelegate supporters have publicly disagreed with her, and one today even switched away from her. Let her keep complaining about FL and MI. There's no evidence that it's helping her win over the superdelegates, and the reverse appears to be true.
