5. Clinton is running a textbook "My campaign is in disarray" Campaign
Now, she needs to cancel a few big events in Ohio and she is doing this perfectly.

18. I am. I wouldn't expect such apparent chaos from a Clinton campaign.
It's very curious. And more than a little troubling, if she were to become the nominee. I simply expected her to run a tighter ship.

24. Any campaign can be sunk by the will of the people.
Clinton is being torpedoed by the voters.

She is simply unable to sell perfumed crap in a fancy box.

27. It's clear to me: Hillary had no plan beyond Super Tuesday
Her money ran out. Her ideas ran out. Her energy ran out all on the same day.

They fully expected to be in "Let's fill the coffers for the general election" mode now.

6. Mike Henry
Clinton's deputy campaign manager, Mike Henry, is out, Cillizza is is the first to report.

I've obtained a copy of his farewell email to colleagues on the campaign, in which he cites the internal transition and wishes Clinton the best.

"Out of respect for Maggie and her new leadership team I thought it was the best thing to do. As someone who has managed campaigns, I share the unique understanding of the challenges that the campaign will face over the next several weeks," he wrote. "Our campaign needs to move quickly to build a new leadership team, support them and their decisions and make the necessary adjustments to achieve the winning outcome for which we have all worked so hard for over a year now."

Henry's a Virginia hand, having run Tim Kaiine's campaign. He also wrote the famous memo suggesting Clinton stay away from Iowa -- a memo whose estimate of Iowa's challenges for her was vindicated last month.

19. They apparently didn't have a plan B.
Seriously. They just don't seem to be able to adapt well. And I have to wonder if that starts at the top.

28. She thought she would have it in the bag on Super Tuesday
and did not have a presence in all 50 states, she is scrambling now and it may well be to little to late

Obama knew it would be a long campaign and has had strong presence in every state

It does show his foresight and her lack thereof.
