What Happened to Hillary?
May 16, 2008
Over at The New Republic they had many insiders give their opion on Hillary Clinton’s downfall. Some of My favorites:

“Running as an incumbent, as the inevitable candidate, was probably our biggest mistake, particularly in a time when the country is really hungry for change.”
“We ran a frontrunner campaign in a party that punishes frontrunners. There was no attention to history: Ed Muskie–knocked off; threat to Mondale; etc. The best thing that could have happened is falling behind in the polls to Obama and then a shake-up ala Gore 2000–maybe even a move out of D.C. like he did it.”
