Most talented politician

On Charlie Rose just the other day, Bill Clinton reminisced about his own glory days in his attempts to cut Barack Obama's legs out from under him:

Even when I was a governor, and young, and thought I was the best politician in the Democratic Party, I didn't run the first time I could have. I had lots of Democratic governors encouraging me to, but I knew in my bones I shouldn't run, that I was a good enough politician to win, but I didn't think I was ready to be president.

The year was 1988, and although Clinton was indeed a talented politician he was not quite talented enough to realize that his now-infamous "In conclusion!" speech, introducing Michael Dukakis at the Democratic National Convention, was overlong, self-centered, and tiresome. Meanwhile, Barack Obama's speech to the convention in 2004 will go down in history as one of the greatest of the era. Three years after each speech, the two men who delivered them were running for president.

Evidently this was a bit of a panic move. Which makes me wonder: If Hillary Clinton loses the nomination, what does it mean for "Clintonism"?
