It's the Map Not the Math. Hillary has finally figured out....
...that the U.S. military elite puppetmasters and their puppets - i.e. politicians - and talking heads in the U.S. mainstream media use the caucuses, presidential primaries and the electoral college to maintain their iron clad grip on power and to dictate to the general public who they should be voting for in the presidential election.

Barack Obama already knew this, but he had to play the game to win the match. Now he can proceed to influence the elitists to do his bidding. I'm not saying Barack is an elitist. What I am saying is that he learned very quickly and very well how to play the game. He knows when he is President he'll have much more power to CHANGE things than he does as a U.S. senator.

2. How is it that someone with the vast political experience Hillary has,
has just now "finally figured out..." the game of politics, yet that neophyte Obama, already was wise? :eyes:

4. She didn't realize her political machinery was outdated...
until it was too late. The Clinton's have a huge network backing them up, but it's mostly big money donors who have their hands tied with respect to financing her run. Obama learned from Dean's 2004 run and perfected it. He quickly put together the largest, most efficient grassroots campaign ever seen in politics. Buy the time it had gathered momentum, it was steamrolling over Hillary's own very impressive money raising efforts.

One of the great things about grassroots, is that it creates a lot of campaign "owners" - people have a real stake in the outcome. Because of the nature of the campaign, he has built a highly-mobilized base that is comprised of motivated hard-working individuals who have made his campaign their own personal crusade. Because of that, I really believe he has built a coalition in which real change is finally possible. It isn't just a campaign slogan, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy due to the nature of the support architecture he has built from the ground up.
