Strategies for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to bounce back and winScenario According to the given scenario, working as a political strategist for Senator HillaryRodham Clinton, the front-runner in the race to become the Democratic party nominee forpresident. A candidate has performed worse than expected in Iowa due to this reason she lost andObama won. It is important for the client to understand what went wrong and the campaign canbe reconfigured to improve her campaign chances in the primaries and caucuses to follow(Clinton, Huckabee and Obama, 2015).
