Obama 2008 has defined the technical art of campaigning that we live in.  Full stop.

Reagan, Obama, and Clinton might have been equivalently charismatic, and the top advisers might have been equivalently shrewd strategists, but if you're talking about who ran the better campaign? Obama 2008 and 2012 were technical masterpieces that won't be replicated for a good while.

Ross Perot was an unpredictable factor, the brilliance of the Obama campaign was in organizing persuasive field organizing that bore fruit over the course of the entire campaign, and where the heck are you getting numbers for "how big they should have won?"
