HERE'S A LITTLE political banana peel. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign failed to file a full slate of convention delegate candidates for Pennsylvania's April 22 primary.

"There are a number of Clinton delegates that did not file for reasons of illness or other issues," Democratic state chairman T.J. Rooney conceded yesterday after being questioned by the Daily News.

He initially said he was unaware of the fact, but confirmed it after checking with Clinton's state delegate petition organizer.

It appears Clinton came up 10 or 11 candidates short across a number of congressional districts, including two in Philadelphia.

That's close to 10 percent of the 103 delegates to be decided by voters.

Wow - just wow...

She has an incompetent campaign/field staff. Incredible.

This is a result of no planning on her part after Super Tuesday. Unreal...

A campaign which has blown through $140M and they overlook things such as this.

Imagine how she would run the country!

Of course, according to Bill, they have run this campaign “on a shoestring” budget.

Good grief.
