Was the monster comment the biggest screw up in modern campaign history?

Wow...but what do you really feel about people who oppose Hillary. I would hazard a guess that you are a Hillary supporter. The biggest screw up so far of this campaign has got to be Hillary's lack of organization for those primaries beyond Super Tuesday, cause she thought the contest would be over by then...or her lack of organization in any caucus state other than Iowa, thus forfeiting huge delegate wins in those contests. How did she and Bill and their war room gang get out-organized by a junior senator from Illinois. If she loses the nomination, they will be seen as huge screw ups; maybe followed by her letting Bill loose on the campaign after New Hampshire where his comments about Obama were interpreted by the black community as rascist. Suddenly Obama's black support jumps to 90% and her sizable black support shrinks to the low teens.

Wouldn't it be convenient for Hillary if an off-hand comment by an unpaid advisor is widely seen as the biggest screw up in history?

Instead, everyone can see that Hillary's vote to authorize war in 2002--and her subsequent inability to see it as 'wrong'--is probably the most significant reason that Obama was initially seen as an alternative to Hillary.

Her poor vote and repeated defense of that vote, is a MUCH bigger "screw up" in terms of shooting oneself in the foot and she can't shake it.

All that aside, this is a non-issue. An advisor said that once he had a President's knowledge of the situation he may have to change his approach. Isn't that what we want? A president who will respond to the events of the world rather than the dictates of pre-stated dogmas? "We should be as careful getting out as we were getting in." Obama says.

This is a debate that should be had between Democrats and Republicans, not among Democrats. Democrats should assume that policies might change as circumstances do, and that transparency is the most important thing under this approach.

Isn't that dogmatism and lack of transparency the biggest problem with the Bush administration's past 8 years?

No, it was just a comment that she thought would be off the record. She is a trusted adviser I don't think she should be fired for it, just apologize for going over the edge. It's no worse than comparing Obama to Kenneth Starr.

If you consider that Hillary has had to get rid of one of her campaign workers for putting out the Obama is MUSLIM comment, I would think not. Clinton also picked the wrong person to represent her nomination. That is why she is behind Obama. They underestimated him.

As for the monster comment, it is TRUE. Anyone who would stoop to the kinds of things that she has done, IS w/o a doubt a MONSTER.

here, permit me restoration your query for you. Why is Mitt Romney working the dirtiest and maximum divisive marketing campaign in modern historical past? simply by fact he's have been given lots to cover! in case you go with Willard Mitt Romney to your chief, in simple terms have your self outsourced to Planet Kolob. i'm confident he will have a extreme-high quality servant interest for you at peasant pay.

i think that personal of an attack is uncalled for , im a republican , and i felt sorry for hillary,it seems she cant look at obama the wrong way with out the names being thrown about how she is attacking the poor little black man , if your going to hand some one the election , atleast pick from the 2 with some life expierence

Dudelies! A 'monster' is sometimes any female who has had plastic surgery.

A 'marriagable monster' is a hottie with great work, even boob-implants, affixed under the chest muscle.

Some of you are Mencia-bait. What did they call that big girl with THREE OF 'EM? D-D-D!!!

I don't know if it was the biggest screw up (Guiliani's campaign strategy this year is near the top), but it is definitely a rookie mistake. Which was preceded by another rookie mistake in how the NAFTA memo was handled. I would have thought he was more savvy than that.

Well I am waiting for the next bad comment. They are a pair of kids showing themselves up. God help America if either get in office

After all this do you still feel he should run this country? I mean if you can't manage a campaign, can you be trusted to manage the entire country? It's the stuff nightmares are made of.
