In today's New York Times, a group of political pundits and politiciansgave their theories as to why Hillary Clinton didn't get the Democratic nomination this year. The most interesting one came from former US Senator Bob Kerrey.
So, the most accurate answer to the question of which of Mrs. Clinton's mistakes was most costly is probably one I have heard from a number of people and has been written by many others: She and President Clinton should have moved back to her home state after they left the White House. By doing so, she would have been elected the junior senator from Illinois in 2004, thereby reducing the chances that Mr. Obama would have been in a position to run against her.LOL, hindsight is usually 20/20. Illinois politics is kind of warped, maybe Obama would have defeated Clinton then too. We'll never know.
Hat tip- Doug at Below the Beltway who writes "And, unfortunately for Hillary, time travel isn't an option."

No one back in 2001, not even Hillary, could have foreseen the ObamaMessiah phenomenon, which hopefully will save the nation from the evil Republicans.

Her warmongering didn't help either.

That's one theory I hadn't thought of. Instead, we've had a Democratic Party wildly split, giving us lots of entertainment.
