Here is a very interesting article about what went wrong Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign for president.

It really is a sad story. She was so ill served by her staff that it's almost criminal. A couple of early staff changes and she would be the nominee right now, instead of hanging around waiting for Obama to get hit by lightning.

But it also points to the same flaw that we have seen with George Bush, in that she values loyalty over competence. Considering the political battles she has fought through the years, you can understand why she might lean on the loyalists more than a newcomer like Obama. But it sunk her.
