Hillary might have been helped by....

Reading my article in Campaign and Elections Magazine "Taking the Town Hall Meeting National." It looks like that's what she was trying to do, but swung and missed because she understood neither the dynamic of a town hall meeting, nor the power of modern connectivity.

Connectivity is unbelievably greater than when I wrote the piece, not long after the 2000 elections and John McCain's success with town hall meetings in New Hampshire, which he was never able to translate into the bigger states.

Kudo's to Hillary and her staff for trying, but an F on execution.
