It wasn't because Obama was the best candidate or ran the better campaign. The decision as to who was going to win the Democrat primary was made on June 8, 2008 in Chantilly, Virgina. Read up on what Obama and Hillary were doing that day.

I was intrigued but all I could find is that was the day when Hillary conceded and people were blaming her loss on being a “Washington insider” and that Obama was a “fresh face” (gag!)
Please share any other interesting info you have.
I personally have some theories, that are more along the line of un-provable “conspiracy theories” — IMO she was “unbeatable” at the time, unless...???
