Hillary, today in Rapid City, South Dakota, defended Obama from President Bush’s apparent comparison of him to Neville Chamberlain, Ken Vogel reports. She told reporters “President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of his failures in foreign policy.”

The “gas tax holiday” ad that Hillary Clinton used had not one, but two anti-Clinton messages in it! A newspaper clip used in the ad was actually about “Troopergate”, an allegation that state troopers arranged sexual liaisons for Bill Clinton. The second an attack line against Clinton from an Obama ad. The article has the video and a screenshot.

Now that the outcome of the battle for the Democratic nomination has been settled beyond a reasonable doubt, it’s worth looking systematically at the major factors that gave victory to Obama. After all, fifteen months ago, conventional wisdom viewed Obama as an audacious long shot.

Clinton aides continued to insist that she will remain in the race even while confirming that she is $20 million in debt. “The voters are going to decide this,” senior adviser Howard Wolfson said on “Fox News Sunday,” acknowledging the $20 million figure. “There is no reason for her not to continue this process.”

Reactions have been unsympathetic. The New York Post called her “toast” in three-inch-high letters on Wednesday. The collapse of her candidacy is abrupt in the context of her long claim of inevitability and the near-universal expectation a year ago that she would be the Democratic nominee.It could be that a still-startled Hillary just can’t let go.
