 Clinton backers fault campaign
By Paul WestIt may be hard to recall the shield of inevitability that once surrounded Hillary Clinton, but a December 2007 cover story in a liberal magazine is a reminder."Has Hillary Locked It Up?" asked The American Prospect, which unabashedly promotes its "Liberal Intelligence." The article lauded the "strategic and tactical brilliance of her campaign" and "her political adeptness," concluding that Clinton had pulled so far ahead that the race might be over once the first votes were cast.

By Paul WestIt may be hard to recall the shield of inevitability that once surrounded Hillary Clinton, but a December 2007 cover story in a liberal magazine is a reminder."Has Hillary Locked It Up?" asked The American Prospect, which unabashedly promotes its "Liberal Intelligence." The article lauded the "strategic and tactical brilliance of her campaign" and "her political adeptness," concluding that Clinton had pulled so far ahead that the race might be over once the first votes were cast.Now, after falling behind Barack Obama, her campaign is being vilified by some of her supporters. They say she made the strategic mistake of believing that she was inevitable, allowing herself to be positioned, in effect, as an incumbent in an election about change.Her advisers apparently assumed that the nomination would be decided by the Super Tuesday primaries Feb. 5, when more than half the states would have voted. Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell, a Clinton supporter, was quoted as saying last week that "it sure didn't look like they had a game plan after Super Tuesday."Among recent problems: a shortage of campaign cash and, some supporters say, a surplus of loose talk by her husband, the former president.Most of the Clinton supporters interviewed for this article, some of whom spoke on condition that they not be identified, said they think she can win the nomination. Some also said, as one put it, that "sometimes the moment is not your moment, or voters are looking for new and different and you're not new and different."Facing a primary opponent that even John McCain's campaign manager described admiringly the other day as "a phenomenon," Clinton wins praise for her public performance, even as her campaign decisions are getting second-guessed."She made virtually no mistakes under an intense level of scrutiny. I don't think you can fault her as a candidate at all," said Clinton backer Steve Elmendorf, deputy manager of John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.Aides point to new polling that showed her leading in Ohio and Texas, two must-win states. Victories there could reinforce the claim that Clinton is best suited to carry the big states that Democrats need in November.
