By Adam NagourneyNYT - When it comes time to recount the story of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s descent from inevitable nominee to defeat at the hands of Senator Barack Obama — assuming that is how this ends up — there is no shortage of mistakes by the Clinton campaign to put on the what-went-wrong list.But without in any way discounting the travails of the Clinton organization, there have also been a series of external events in this Democratic nominating fight — events largely beyond the control of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign — that, had they gone differently, might just have resulted in a different outcome. Politics is often as much about luck as it is about skill; the Clinton campaign arguably ran short on both this year.Here, in no particular order, are some of the factors and developments that undercut her candidacy, some self-inflicted, others inflicted upon her.The Timing of the Edwards EndorsementSenator John Edwards, after weeks of holding back, decided to endorse Mr. Obama on the Wednesday after Mrs. Clinton enjoyed a rare bit of good news, a 41-point defeat of Mr. Obama in West Virginia. Mr. Edwards’ decision to move that day — and in prime time, no less — took the wind out of the Clinton campaign’s sails, depriving it of what seemed to be at least a chance to get back in the hunt.Mrs. Clinton, on something of a victory lap, had taped an interview with Charlie Gibson to be aired on The World News Tonight on ABC that evening. Instead, for the East Coast feed of the program — the most-watched feed, the one broadcast in Washington, D.C. — ABC went live to Mr. Edwards endorsing Mr. Obama in Michigan. And the Clinton interview? Relegated to the late feeds and the ABC Web site.Was there a kick-the-wounded-puppy feeling to all this? Well, yes. But this is politics, after all. And it certainly appeared to be successful: The time just after the West Virginia victory might have been the last window Mrs. Clinton had to get superdelegates to hear her case that Mr. Obama is a flawed general-election candidate.
