6. Sure it could have turned out better. Things always can.

She did win, though, which ends the "2008" narrative. She's a huge favorite to win the nomination, which is good, because after watching the GOP speeches last night, it reinforced how important it is for a Dem to win the GE.

13. Yep, this is the biggest thing that sunk her in 2008

Her campaign treated the primary as if it was winner-take-all by state, ignoring the delegates Obama was accumulating in the runup to Super Tuesday. Sure enough she won all the states on Super Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to cinch the nomination as they'd been proudly crowing it would.
