From The Economist of 16 Feb 2008:

The Billary Campaign is in turmoil. ... But it also reflects a troubled organization. Mrs Clinton's campaign has been riven by faction-fights between the "white boys" who are close to her husband and "the Hillary girls" who are close to her. It has also been hobbled by the reluctance of her advisers to bring the boss bad news. Mrs Solis Doyle's departure was reportedly precipitated by her failure to tell Mrs Clinton that her campaign was running out of money. Mrs Clinton, it seems, had to lend the campaign $5m of her own cash. ...
Mr Obama has run a steadier campaign. He has consistently out-organized and out planned his rival.

The reason I find readers of the Daily News (tabloids) with so little grasp of current events: they fail to read and grasp significance in details. No details, for example, are why so many believed Saddam had WMDs. Details are massively significant.

On Saturday February 9th an overflowing crowd of Virginians got a chance to see the Democratic presidential candidates giving duelling speeches at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Richmond. More interesting than anything the candidates said, however, was the detritus afterwards. The crowds stripped the place clean of Obama signs, tearing every last one off the walls. Hillary signs were abandoned on chairs and trampled under foot.
