So, Hillary Clinton has realised that - for now - she will not be the first female President of the United States. The departure was a long time coming, in some people's eyes and let's not kid ourselves, there were probably machinations, recriminations and ultimately, resignation when it was clear that Barack Obama had pulled it off.
So why did Hillary lose? According to today's Sunday Times, it was arrogance and complacency and underestimating her fiercest opponent. Was it her internet campaign (that's it, blame technology!)? Or was it her advisors who, it seems, really didn't have a grasp of just what was needed to secure the nomination.
One thing is for sure - America's truly most powerful woman, Ms Oprah Winfrey - will be glad she backed the right candidate. Did Oprah's influence swing it for Barack?
Personally, I already know the real reason. If only Hillary had listened to my advice earlier! She needed to bring the Clinton dog into the campaign. He would have won it for her, paws down! Just look at Bill and Buddy; that's pure gold campaigning!
Oh well, there's always next time. Isn't there?
Woof Woof
