Not sure why you're so anxious to engage in historical revisionism, but the data isn't negotiable.

She started with a 45+ point lead in 2007 before she even took off her coat, spent $100 million by the end of 2007, and had control of the Democratic Party machinery. She had every conceivable advantage. She didn't just lose, she pissed it away vis a vis poor campaign management and stooping to unsavory tactics.

And she's headed for another defeat as a consequence of her reckless behavior at State. This again by her own hand.
