Hillary's perception problem

[Shine]

The game of Politics is all about perception. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that the biggest problem Hillary faces in the coming weeks is the overall PERCEPTION that her campaign is struggling to keep up against the rising tide of Obama.

All of these losses, plus the news about the shake-up of her campaign's top staff, PLUS the news about her loaning her own money to help her campaign doesn't bode well for her.

It can be argued (and will be, around here) that she is absolutely behind and won't be able to catch up...but in truth, nothing is set in stone yet.

We will ALL have to wait and see.

BUT...in the meantime....Obama's got the advantage in the newscycles. This much is true and could be devastating for her, in the long run.

Just for the record, this Edwards supporter is not in one camp or the other yet.

1. 8 decisive wins is not perception, it is a reality that needs to be addressed

the people, REAL people, have spoken across this great country.

as we've seen throughout this primary season, people are making up their own minds and voting with their hearts. just when you think somebody's down and out, they're back on top.

At this point the country is rallying around obama, and it is real. unfortunately we had two amazing candidates (three? four?!) and only one could be the nominee. ohio and texas could be a great rebirth for hillary, but its not a perception problem she's fighting. the problem is real.

3. You're right, but how can she address it now?

:shrug: is it a losing battle? does it even matter? Is it true she hasn't come out and officially congratulated Obama yet for his wins? I don't know...

2. The problem is that people DO perceive her correctly.
