Can Hilary Come Back?

Hilary needs a miracle at this point to be able to make her competitive for the candidacy for the 2008 presidential election. She is very behind Obama and continues to make cheap decisions hoping to hurt his campaign but is only hurting how she is being perceived;thus losing more support on a daily basis. At this point I even speculate that the Hilary campaign is in debt.

Although many people can and will argue that the way she closed the Texas debate was very strong (which I agree with as well) I believe it just is not enough to guarantee her Texas and Ohio. She constantly seems frustrated and desperate for the votes and its making people question her sincerity.

In another class we played an interesting exercise on how people perceive each candidate, by selecting words that best describe them. One conclusion we came to is that this election does not have one issue tied to any candidate (especially Hilary) but instead their character traits are the important deciding factor for voters in this election. Therefore, it is very difficult for Hilary to shift her campaign so that more people will like her and dislike Obama at the same time. Unless someone has a strategy to accomplish that goal I believe Hilary has lost her battle...
