what he did right:
-Fired Penn
-Not panicking about early polls way behind Bush.
-Trying to win Florida and dismissing the idea that it was a lock for Bush. This at least forced Bush to campaign there. Even Clinton didn't win Florida in '92 (but in '96).
-Great convention that shored up base (and the kiss and populist rhetoric didn't hurt either).
-Debate #3
-Getting out the vote in Pennsylania and the Midwest.
what he messed up on:
-Being to obsessed with defeating Bradley that he said okay to trigger locks to appeal to more liberal members of his party that were more likely to vote for Bradly, which alienated him from moderate voters.
-Debate #1
-Debate #2
-Not okaying a statewide recount right away.
?:
-Picking Lieberman as his running-mate
-Distancing himself from Clinton
