32. Obama didn't win by counter-punching. He won by a strategy of attrition in the caucus states.

Nov 2015

He planned to fight for every delegate in the caucus states and Hillary blew her money in the first month hoping for an immediate knockout.

Once she didn't win by knockout it was really over but the flailing. There was no counter-punching involved.

This campaign is becoming unhinged. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #1

"Kicking butt" is a sexist term now? arcane1 Nov 2015 #2
It's news to me. If it's something you'd say to a man, isn't it sexist NOT to make the same reference to a woman? InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2015 #49

Obama didn't win by counter-punching. He won by a strategy of attrition in the caucus states. stevenleser Nov 2015 #32
lol what you describe obama doing is nearly the definition of counter punching Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #41
No, its not. There was no counter-punching at all. Thats not what counterpunching means. nt stevenleser Nov 2015 #59
It means more than one thing and what you described is counterpunching Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #62
There was no countering involved. Countering is reactive. The strategy was adopted by Obama before stevenleser Nov 2015 #67
Please proceed Governor... Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #72
He ran one of the best campaigns in history imho BootinUp Nov 2015 #52
