This article is about Barack Obama and how he was supposed to be a "transformational figure" in this presidential campaign. It talks about the inside plan that Obama's campaign was trying to run, and how it didn't go at all to that plan. It states that even though he has raised more money and a large supporting group of Democrats, he just can't seem to win the big states. You can tell in the article that the author is a Hillary fan. He tries not to show it, but it definitely comes through. He then tries to give advice to the Obama campaign and just starts to completely bash everything that they have done against Hillary. At this point I stopped reading because it was obvious this was about to turn into a negative, biased rant.

Sometimes hiding your bias is very hard. Clearly the author could not keep his composure for the whole article, and it weakened his argument. The end he should have considered the most important because that is what the people are left with.
