» Microtrends vs Macrotrends: Why Obama is Winning
Hillary Clinton’s campaign, supported by Mark Penn, who literally wrote the book on microtrends, has worked fastidiously to slice the American electorate into narrowly defined subgroups and garner their patronage. Unfortunately, Barack Obama burst onto the scene and grabbed the support of wide swaths of the nation, sweeping over Clinton’s micro-strategy. Small movements are critical, except when they get bowled over by big ones, Huffington writes in this incisive piece - and that may be why many consider Clinton to be finished.
