The perils of sprinting in a marathon

It’s pretty clear now that the Hillary campaign wasn’t prepared with a Plan B if its strategy for a Super Tuesday knockout punch didn’t work. Now comes a report that the campaign only recently learned that her “firewall” state of Texas allocates delegates in such a way that even a big popular vote win might not yield a decided edge in state delegates.
One wonders how the Clinton campaign could not have known. Is their announcement an attempt at manipulation and spin or yet another sign of an incompetently run campaign?
To use an analogy from business, Obama seems to be the disruptive technology that changes the rules while Clinton is the established dinosaur that can’t or doesn’t know how to change.
