When Did The Wheels Fall Off the Clinton Machine?

[mikekohr]

It Began Long Before Iowa.

It is clear now that the Clinton camp made massive miscalculations from the very beginning of this campaign. While they raised record amounts of money, they spent record amounts of money on non productive, non substantive expenditures (ex. nearly $100,000.00 on food platters for campaign workers, staffers staying in high-end hotels, etc.) that left them limping out of Iowa after finishing third.

As a bystander in neighboring Illinois I was alarmed at some of the reports coming out of Iowa with regards to how the Clinton campaign was being run. One report that made all of our local television channels was about the "trashing," of a Clinton, Iowa, office building by staffers of the Clinton campaign

While I was able to rationalize (not excuse), how such a thing may have occurred in the confusion to quickly get to New Hampshire, I was flummoxed as to why the Clinton camp decided to low-ball the repair/clean-up bill by $250.00 and let this event fester into $1,000,000.00 of bad press. It's clear now. They were running on financial fumes and the ether of ham fisted managerial incompetence.

Bringing back Maggie Williams to head the Clinton campaign was long overdue. It remains to be seen whether it was too little too late.
