Frank Rich, New York Times op-ed columnist, had a seering indictment of the Clinton campaign in this week's Sunday edition.

"WHEN people one day look back at the remarkable implosion of the Hillary Clinton campaign," Rich writes, "they may notice that it both began and ended in the long dark shadow of Iraq." "It’s not just that her candidacy’s central premise — the priceless value of “experience” — was fatally poisoned from the start by her still ill-explained vote to authorize the fiasco. Senator Clinton then compounded that 2002 misjudgment by pursuing a 2008 campaign strategy that uncannily mimicked the disastrous Bush Iraq war plan. After promising a cakewalk to the nomination — “It will be me,” Mrs. Clinton told Katie Couric in November — she was routed by an insurgency."

Hillary's camp never imagined having to plan past Feb. 4th. They disregard, and have outright insulted, voters who opt for anyone other than Ms. Clinton herself, arguing that the wishes of voters in "Red" and smaller delegate states are of little consequence. Like the campaign of "shock-and-awe" in Iraq, the inevitability of her victory should have by now whipped any naysayers into shape. A nice retort from the op-ed pages of a paper whose editors came out to endorse Ms. Clinton.
