This is what I mean - she's not doing anything yet she is being defined by
the way it gets played.

I would welcome your advise/guidance/thoughts - including if we should just
ignore it.

Hey there,

So I'm working on a story about whether Clinton is repeating the mistakes
of 2008, or whether she's avoiding them.

Some in Obamaland in particular see her as doing the same thing -- the
too-early start, the inevitability play, the big organization, the lack of
message -- this time.

Curious what you think, on whatever terms you're comfortable talking.

Ben
