Mistakes, mistakes
If you want to get a grasp of just how drastically the Clintons misjudged the primary process, consider this: The Clinton campaign did not put a ground operation in place in the post Super Tuesday states because they were so confident that it would all be over by then. This misplaced confidence has also allowed Barack Obama to enter into the final stretch with the money and advertising edge going. In the nine days after Super Tuesday he outspent the Clintons on TV by more than $5 million.

February 16th, 2008 10:22pmTalk about contrasting feelings, on one level the thought and sight of the Clintons squirming is so delicious but on the other is the knowledge that Hillary would almost certainly be the easier foe for McCain. However, the Clintons are nothing if not lucky and I still feel that underneath the gloss and veneer there is a fragility about Obama.

February 17th, 2008 7:05amWell, we've already had Rezko the Chicago "slumlord," the radioactive spills law (which Hillary cosponsored), and Obama's stated desire, in kindergarten, to be president one day.

I hear, though, that Obama has fathered two black children.
