Hillary Camp Still Whining, Now Blaming John Edwards For Loss


In case you hadn't heard the Clinton campaign is now blaming disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards for Billary's loss:

Hillary Clinton's supporters gave a fresh glimpse yesterday of their lingering resentment over her defeat by claiming that she would have won the Democratic presidential nomination if John Edwards had confessed his affair earlier.

Howard Wolfson, her former communications director, suggested that the lie Mr Edwards told last year over his adulterous relationship with Rielle Hunter had lasting effects because it enabled him to stay in the race at a crucial time.

The Iowa caucuses, which kicked off the nomination process in January, saw Mrs Clinton finish third, narrowly behind second-placed Mr Edwards and the victorious Barack Obama. Although she staged a comeback a few days later in New Hampshire, her campaign never properly recovered its former poise and momentum.

Mr Wolfson said that without Mr Edwards complicating the contest “we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee”.

So despite the fact that Billary herself never gave Iowa any serious thought and finished a distant third in the race, now it's John Edwards' fault she loss the primary....the media, sexism, Mark Penn, etc. Will it ever be that Obama just ran a better campaign?
