Given the Clinton campaign’s descent into bad 1988 Democratic campaigns, I’m finding some problems with their messaging.  Beyond the fact that it’s all about process at this point and not about what she would actually do other than adamantly talking about facts.

Let’s look at recent events…

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign failed to file a full slate of convention delegate candidates for Pennsylvania’s April 22 primary.

This despite the possibility the primary proves critical and despite Clinton owning the full-throated support of Gov. Rendell, state Democratic Party leadership, Mayor Nutter and, presumably, the organizational skill all that entails.

And despite a Rendell-ordered extension of the filing deadline that could be viewed as more than just coincidental.

Texas Incompetence:

Supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are worried that convoluted delegate rules in Texas could water down the impact of strong support for her among Hispanic voters there, creating a new obstacle for her in the must-win presidential primary contest.

Several top Clinton strategists and fundraisers became alarmed after learning of the state’s unusual provisions during a closed-door strategy meeting this month, according to one person who attended.

What Clinton aides discovered is that in certain targeted districts, such as Democratic state Sen. Juan Hinojosa’s heavily Hispanic Senate district in the Rio Grande Valley, Clinton could win an overwhelming majority of votes but gain only a small edge in delegates. At the same time, a win in the more urban districts in Dallas and Houston — where Sen. Barack Obama expects to receive significant support — could yield three or four times as many delegates.

The entire reaction from Clinton’s campaign seems to be of the same line of who could have thought this would happen thinking that brought us Iraq.  Who could have known the nomination would be messy? Who could of known that a nation divided on ethnic lines could lead to a long civil war.  Who needed to prepare for the primary season to go on this long? Who needed to prepare for the rebuilding of Iraq since we’ll win the the war in a few weeks?

And if you point out the incompetence, you are the problem, not the people actually screwing up.

Clinton had been growing on me as a candidate for a while.  Not that I’d switch allegiances, but I could have been comfortable with her being the nominee.

But I’ve seen this play before and I didn’t like it the first time.
