Seriously...Clinton can't close the deal
Clinton had all the advantages of being favored for the Dem nomination and she lost it. She had more name recognition to begin with, had campaigned nationally with her husband twice prior, supposedly had a better "experienced" campaign staff, and an established network of funders. Yet, Obama's the one who is in the lead in delegate counts, popular votes, and is running an amazingly well funded campaign from the ground up. Obama has built on his base by attracting new people to the party. You can't say the same for Clinton. Once the general election starts, more people will pay attention and get to know him better. When people get to know him, they like him. You can almost say the opposite is true for Clinton. The longer she stays in the race, the more people she turns off. The negativity in her campaign is the smell of desperation but it's all she has to work with.
