But she had to overcome decades of being bashed in media - liberal, conservative and everyone in between. Where I live the Rs were geared to turn out in spades. The smaller urban areas - the old mill towns that vote Democratic - didn't have that same enthusiasm at all. If she'd have had maybe a small townhall event at say the local community college or high school auditorium, she'd have gotten a bigger bang for her bucks because then attendees would have come out and told their friends, she's not at all like she's been portrayed. JMHO, her campaign didn't use that aspect of her personality as well as it could have. But it's really water over the dam.
