Hillary Clinton has been too programmed by her consultants, It's why she is losing

[rhombus]

First, she was supposed to be inevitable.
Then, we were told she was far more 'experienced' than either Biden or Dodd.
She disregarded entire states because, guess what, according to her and her campaign, those states were irrelevant. A big FU to Democrats in those "irrelevant" red states.

The list goes on and on.

But if you peel away all those layers, the picture that comes to mind is a robotic, preprogrammed candidate in Hillary Clinton. Things like, "No Barack, that's change you can Xerox" sounded so canned and unpalatable.


I truly wish Hillary had been herself. Alas, she has chosen to cast her lot with the Carville's and Penn's of the entrenched DC circuit. It's no wonder a supposedly well-oiled machine like her campaign is sputtering at this point.

1. Hillary is losing, because...

...she wasn't ready.

I read http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/obamamachineryofhope/page/3">that Rolling Stone article and it described how Hillary is so far behind.

2. Same thing that ruined Gore

Remember the debates? He was viewed as stiff. I was throughly disappointed in his personality points when he was following their advice.

3. I was just coming here to post the same.

When will they stop, and just be themselves as best they can?

4. That's what I'm thinking too. She was derailed from her true self by her "experts", who

as experts do, mess everything up and do nothing.

It's really sad. But she will recover from this mess.

It's probably for the best that this has happened, because maybe Obama will be the best president we have had since JFK.

5. interesting post

reminds me of Gore - the new improved, real Gore is so much better and more genuine than Gore 2000 (who had Lieberman as VP!)
