Clinton 2008

Though she led in the popular vote (so she claims), the champagne wishes and Presidential dreams are over for Hillary.

Love her or hate her (and many people fall into one or the other of these camps), Hillary Clinton ran neck and neck with Obama for the Democratic nomination. Her husband, who helped her top the fundraising charts for the first quarter (but not by nearly as big a margin as expected), was both one of her biggest assets and her biggest liabilities. She's won kudos in the Senate for hard work and bipartisan effectiveness, but in the end the numbers just weren't on her side.
