6. Pretty much the case. I'd really add one thing here.
When the decision was made after New Hampshire in a moment of hubris by Penn, McAuliffe and the Clintons to begin going after Barack Obama which they did, they forgot that people want to vote FOR someone, not just AGAINST the other guy.

And amazing at it is, ever since then (with the brief exception at the Kodak Theater), the mantra from the Clintons campaign has been non-stop attacks on Obama.

Their message should have been all about Hillary. She was the candidate and it seems very odd to me that a feminist would permit all of these testosterone poisoned uber males to being playing war games against Obama instead of showcasing her.

And even as of today, Hillary's speeches are all about Obama and his speeches. They really are off the track.
