WTF? Clinton Campaign Fails to Submit an Entire Delegate Slate in PA
More from the "Campaign Who Couldn't Shoot Straight". Even with Rendell on their side, and giving them an extension...


http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/02/clinton_fails_to_submit_an_ent.php

Even with a Gov. Ed Rendell-ordered extension, it appears as if Hillary Clinton's Pennsylvania campaign still fell about 10 people short of filing a full delegate slate with the state party.

If every delegate matters, though, then every delegate matters, and Obama has a full slate of supporters waiting to go to the convention for him. Clinton does not.

This is more evidence that the Clinton campaign simply did not envision a delegate hunt until it was much too late.

Watch for Kirk Wagar and Co. to send this article to the Hillraisers...

1. She didn't expect this thing to go this far.
She thought she would have it wrapped up on Feb. 5.

She didn't even have offices open in primaries after Super Tuesday.

If she cannot manage her own campaign, how is she going to manage this country?

3. was just comparing the poor planning to the Iraq war
Rumsfeld's Shock and Awe was supposed to work quickly as well - like Hillary was expecting her Schlock and Awwww! to have worked by Super Tuesday.

No Plan B's.
Big Ooops!
No exit strategies, everything ego and self centred.

7. Outrage? We're not outraged ... We're GLAD she's incompetent and arrogant.
It's like the tortoise and the hare. The hare got cocky.

14. Actually this is hilarious. Your candidate's so incompetent...
That she couldn't even get a full slate of delegates in PA, even with her buddy Fast Eddie pulling for her.

12. Certainly not in Philly, where it looks like 4 of the missing delegates are.
I'm in Philly and it looks like my congressional district is one of the affected ones. I am LOVING this!

She has zero grassroots here and Obama's grassroots support is already overwhelming!
