My assement is that HRC was a known quantity and Barack was fairly unknown. It is unfortunate that most of what has been brought up in the last 5 weeks wasn't known early on in the election. Other than the rabid fans how many people would have voted for Obama knowing the things we know now. I guess the one thing I don't agree with Hillary on is I don't think Obama can win, and that the attacks are just starting, not ending. He will be painted as against whites, against middle class, against gun owners. I believe he is not this way, but perception is swinging that way rapidly and he did not perform well under those pressures last night. I hope our supers come to there senses and save this election for the party.
