In my opinion, there is really one reason Hillary was not able to compete with Obama, and that one reason is Money.

               The Move-on.org crowd opted for Obama--it's still not clear yet why--and that gave him access to all the money generated in small quantities at all the college campuses across the nation, along with other Democratic elites.

                This was never more clear than in Wisconsin where Obama would normally have had a hard time, but he was able to outspend her 5 to 1. To me, that was the real turning point in the campaign.

                I will admit that Hillary made a lot of mistakes, and that gives me pause as to her abilities as well. I can't for the life of me understand, after the Howard Dean run in 2004, how she could have ignored the internet as a source for money. On the other hand, maybe she didn't--maybe she thought Move-on was going to work with her, and they came around to stab her in the back at the last minute the way John Edwards did.

                  Of course, it's not known and probably will never be.

                  The thing that I spend a lot of my time wondering about now is: what does Move-on, the Dail Kos, and all of those folks expect to get from Obama if he wins.
