Thanks...There's an interesting article in today's NY TIMES talking about advice Hillary Clinton's campaign refused to listen to, including advice from Bill Clinton. Ed Randell, former Gov of PA and long-time friend of Bill and Hillary, urged Clinton campaign headquarters in Brooklyn NY to send the candidate to more areas in PA other than just Phila and Pittsburgh. Bill Clinton urged Robby Mook, Mrs. Clinton's campaign manager, to do more outreach with working-class and rural voters. But his advice fell on deaf ears. Hillary/her campaign decided to concentrate on Latino and black voters who, in the end, didn't turn out in the numbers Pres Obama saw.

A losing campaigns always has its share of critics, but the bottom line is Hillary Clinton was a weak candidate. She is not comfortable with "ordinary" people and they can sense that...From the article, "although she vowed to help the little guy, she accepted millions of dollars for Wall Street speeches" - a total disconnect.
