There's a lot of talk here about what went wrong in the campaign, and I have summaries of various people's statements after the jump.
But I did want to highlight a quotation from Marty Rouse of the HRC. When Joe Sudby asked each person on the panel what lesson they learned, Rouse said that since he's been working in politics for 20 years, so "There aren't many lessons for me to learn."
People are pointing out various aspects of the campaign that could have been improved, but I didn't get in my question (can't raise my hand and type at the same time), which was about the underlying problem: accountability. We're a ->-bleeped-<-ing smart and creative community, but what good do all the ideas in the world do if they're not used? What's the point of criticism if the people high up aren't going to listen?
