Sad.

I figured Jeralyn Merritt had hit her nadir when she got outclassed by Ann Althouse.

I was wrong. If the Atlantic's Clinton memos revealed anything, it's that, contra Ms. Merritt, Senator Clinton's campaign was doomed from the get-go.

When Harold Ickes -- the only adviser of the bunch who a) understood the importance of amassing delegates and b) kept tabs on the campaign's depleted coffers -- is the only thing keeping you from total immolation, your campaign is fucked.

End of story.
