6. Does she cost less than the last one? |
|
Really, fire Mark Penn and be ahead $4 million!
Somebody does NOT know how to manage campaign finances.

20. She did this in Iowa too - and paid both of them about $10,000 more |
|
each quarter than any other campaign paid their individual state coordinators.

21. Sounds like a power struggle between the old Clinton staff and new Clinton staff |
|

...anytime you change top personnel like this, in mid-stream--and in response to crisis--you run the risk of jumbling things up and never getting back on track again.
Hillary's problems don't have anything to do with her campaign.
Obama is a formidable candidate. He appears to be gaining momentum.
His success isn't about Hillary's campaign not being great enough, or even Hillary herself. Obama's success is about himself.
There's nothing Hillary can do about it, unless she wants to try tearing him down on a personal level--and that wouldn't be wise either.
Hillary would have been better off just plodding forward and trying to reach as many people as possible, as opposed to shaking things up without knowing what those changes will do.
It usually takes a person a while to adjust to a new position as well.
Risky and a miscalculation, if you ask me.

22. Many of Obama's Iowa and early state staff have moved on to other states |
|
(plus he kept his Iowa offices open through the SC primary to make calls)

17. Needed fresh blood to build Mar 4 firewall |
|
If she can't at least break even on Jr. Tues., it's over. If the delegates are split, but Obama gets the wins, that will destroy her entire story line, too.
