I think implicitly lying to voters that Obama endorsed her also played a non-negligible role at the last second. But yeah, it never should've been this close

    I don't know much about this race, but I would bet his personal endorsement would go the other way, but he'd rather just stay out of it so he doesn't ruin his reputation. He's at least smart enough to see the direction things are going, whether he agrees with it or not.
