"We didn't know what the hell we were doing."

By the time the 2008 campaign came along, he certainly DID know what he was doing, but as DNC chairman, he was prevented (probably to his relief) from taking sides in the primaries. He is now under no such restriction.

Hillary has now also been through the wringer once. IF she runs, and hasn't learned from her mistakes in 2008, she deserves to lose. If she runs and HAS learned from her previous mistakes, she will be tough to beat, no matter whether that comes as good news or bad.
