Newsweek’s video page has started the post-election analysis, asking about Barack Obama’s best and worst strategic moves. Jonathan Alter says the worst was Obama not having a compelling economic rationale in the primaries. Andrew Romano says the worst was the “bitter clingers” moment in San Fran. But Lynette Clemetson (a former reporter for Newsweek and the New York Times) spent the better part of a minute saying she couldn’t find a mistake: ”Maybe we’ll find out later in the post-assessment, the least smart thing I did. But I think, during the campaign, it hasn’t been apparent.”

Clemetson is now managing editor of The Root, a liberal African-American commentary site run by Washington Post-Newsweek Interactive.
