Saturdays are so boring

I hate day shift on Saturday. Literally nothing happens all damn day besides 8am maintenance, which typically lasts 30-40 minutes. And since its a weekend noone posts on any forums or anything either. I don't even have an early Phillies game to listen to to keep me occupied. I wish I could take a nap >_>

Anyways like I said in the last post Obama won the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, and today Hillary finally managed to put her ego aside and officially endorse his candidacy. Well I'm gonna go back and point out exactly how, in my opinion, she lost what should have been an easy nomination for her.

1. She ran perhaps the worst campaign in election history. In a time when the people were clearly clammoring for change she tried to run a traditional campaign where she touted her "experience" as her strength. To many this equated to the same old politics we've seen the past few decades, which is exactly what many people (myself included) want to see done away with. The fact that she comes from a political "dynasty" so to speak didn't help either.

2. She never had a plan for post Super Tuesday. She was so sure she would have the nomination locked up by then that she blew all her money beforehand so her campaign eventually went into debt. This also caused her to have an aura of inevitability, an attitude that the nomination was owed to her, that turned a lot of people off to her.

3. She rolled the dice on the "big" states hoping that they would give her enough delegates, and effectively wrote off all the other states. As was made plainly clear during Obamas 11 state win streak following Super Tuesday, this was a huge tactical error that cost her dearly.

4. She has a very unstable personality that scares many people and makes her seem weak. It seemed like every day there was a new face to Hillary, whether it be crying one day, to ranting and raving the next. Many people want their leader to be calm and cool at all times, which Obama is and Hillary is not.

5. She couldn't control her husband. He pretty much went wild and said many controversial things that hurt his wife more than helped her. He planted the seeds of doubt that if she can't control her own husband how can she run the country.

6. Obama was just a better candidate. Their policy stances are nearly identicle with their only real difference being personality. Obama showed time and again he has much stronger character and far more charisma than Hillary could ever hope to muster.

These are my opinions but I stand by them. I'm looking forward to watching President Obama being sworn in office in January, it should be a good 4 years.
