Interesting read on how Hillary went wrong...
This from an LATIMES article about human potential scholar/philosopher Jean Houston and her view on Hillary Clinton primary performance:
"Ironically, Clinton's problem today, Houston said, may be that Obama has given better voice to that new pattern of possibility -- that he embodies a more female, inclusive approach to problem-solving, while Clinton has become mired in proving herself capable of emulating the male model, which requires combat and the demonization of enemies."
[end excerpt]
Sounds on target to me!
Here's more:
"Houston believes Obama is on the verge of winning the nomination partly because he has promoted himself as the embodiment of a new kind of politics, and partly because Clinton has had trouble portraying her authentic self."
"It's a shame the warfare model is still there," Houston said. "If she could have moved to the next level, she would be the next president."
