we're not with her. that's what democratic voters in west virginia said tuesday night, with hillary clinton losing to bernie sanders. although the loss was not unexpected, clinton's campaign sure seems like one long slog of speeches, handshakes and voter selfies on the way toward the 2016 convention in philadelphia.









this extended campaign, however, is actually the best thing that could have happened to clinton. she has benefited enormously from the presence of sanders. now team clinton must build on lessons learned from the primaries as they prepare to run against donald trump in the general election.









then look at clinton these days, speaking out about income inequality, campaign finance reform, and the evils of the big banks on wall street. hmm, where could those winning themes have come from? from bernie, thank you, who proved that progressive voters are tired of not having a voice in national politics. his success pushed clinton to the left, and she is a better candidate for it.









despite clinton's experience as first lady, senator, and secretary of state, there is an understandable tendency of many democratic voters to be wary of anything resembling a clinton "coronation."
