Can She Run Anything?

By The Daily Dish

The Clinton campaign's chaotic, poorly planned, ill-managed organization suggests the Clintons have learned nothing since the structural chaos of their first two terms:

Clinton has overseen two major staff shake-ups in two months. She has left a trail of unpaid bills and unhappy vendors and had to loan her own campaign $5 million to keep it afloat in January. Her campaign badly underestimated her main adversary, Barack Obama, miscalculated the importance of organizing caucus states and was caught flat-footed after failing to lock up the nomination on Super Tuesday. It would be easy to dismiss all of this as fairly conventional political stumbling if she hadn't made her supreme readiness and managerial competence the central issue of her presidential campaign.

I think I'm behind on the Clinton compliments, aren't I?
