The two men who defeated Hillary

An interesting article on what went wrong in the Clinton campaign. The WSJ says Clinton's loss was largely the result of the power of two men - Bill Clinton and Mark Penn - who vetoed some of the better ideas and caused some of the biggest problems.

Every candidate is different, of course, and needs to run his or her own kind of race, but what Hillary's campaign may teach us is that if a woman wants to run successfully for president, she shouldn't rely primarily on men and male psychology.

Ultimately, it may be two men who are responsible for Hillary's loss, and one of those men is not named Barack Obama.
