Here’s a great, in-depth piece about how Obama’s team outmaneuvered Clinton to win the nomination. It was all about piling up delegates in lots of small states that Democrats usually ignore. It’s really remarkable how the Clinton team didn’t realize this.

No, it wasn’t “small states”; it was “caucus states”. Big difference; Cult-like supporters do very well in caucus states.
Good point. But many of the caucus states were smaller states (Alaska, North Dakota, Idaho, Maine, etc.) and Clinton tended to focus on the big battleground states, leaving the smaller ones to Obama. So it was both, really.
