Suggested Detour: Fall of the House of Clinton

Posted by Savage Henry @ 8:27 AM

The single best part of this whole campaign season, for me, has been watching the Clinton ship sink.

This fantastic article just warms the cockles of my heart. Maybe even in the sub-cockle area.

Just one quote:

"Above all, this irony emerges: Clinton ran on the basis of managerial competence--on her capacity, as she liked to put it, to "do the job from Day One." In fact, she never behaved like a chief executive, and her own staff proved to be her Achilles' heel. What is clear from the internal documents is that Clinton's loss derived not from any specific decision she made but rather from the preponderance of the many she did not make. Her hesitancy and habit of avoiding hard choices exacted a price that eventually sank her chances at the presidency. What follows is the inside account of how the campaign for the seemingly unstoppable Democratic nominee came into being, and then came apart."

I hate to think how close we came to having her in The Chair.
