Want to know why Hillary's losing? Because she is trying to succeed the worst presidency in history

[George_Bonanza]

And in the shadow of possibly the worst presidency in American history, the American people need to believe in a candidate whom they feel can potentially be one the all-time greats. It's that hope that will ease the shame and pain of the last 8 years. And when you try to follow up the worst and most depressing presidency in American history, being a policy wonk just won't cut it. People have lived in shadow for 8 years, and though a person like Obama would be a lightweight in any other election year, the people are hungry for a reason to be proud again. The stars were just aligned for Obama in 2008, and in any other year, Hillary as the CEO president would've been more than enough. But not in 2008. Hillary is losing because people need to believe again.

3. Why did you not call your OP, "Want to know why Obama's winning"?

You make a good point, but why alienate the good people here who support Clinton?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. true, he's more of a winner than she's a loser.

[PretzelWarrior]

5. because she's losing it almost as much as he's winning it.

it's horrible gaffe after gaffe by that troupe of supposed politically savvy folks.

[cbayer]

13. That wasn't my point. Why the provocative gloating title? Why not just root for your candidate? nt

6. I don't think she could have ever beaten Obama

Nobody wants to go back to the scandals and viciousness of the 90's. Every step she takes in this campaign reminds people of what they hated from the Clinton years. That's why she's going to lose and would lose against a dynamic candidate like Obama every single time.

7. I think she's losing because

she's running a shitty campaign and believed her press clippings and all the inevitable bullshit. They thought it would have been over by super Tuesday and never made contingency plans-with all due respect George

8. Belief is the enemy of truth

What should have been an election about Republican failure will be reframed as one about "Is America ready for a black president". What should have been an easy election for Democrats will now turn into a nasty cold racial war just in time for a dangerous economic downturn.

[PretzelWarrior]

10. you're wrong. heck, the fact that Obama is black

may even get some guilty GOP'ers to vote for him "because they wouldn't feel right voting against the black guy".

[billbuckhead]

12. "because they wouldn't feel right voting against the black guy"

Depending on "white guilt" to elect Obama will prove foolhardy.

11. We just might rise above the racial division - let's hope

Indeed after 8 years of darkness we could use some Light of Hope

9. Possibly somewhat. The biggest reason Hill is losing is her campaign sucks. Disorganized,

inefficient, and over confident, her campaign will go down in history as 'How not to run' as the presumed nominee.

[HeraldSquare212]

14. She was sort of running as an incumbent, not a very good strategy.

[Skidmore]

15. And she's trying to succeed that administration by using their dirty tactics.

16. kick and agree.
