A certain narrative is being projected, and while all campaigns have lots of puffery, the HRC campaign is sensitive to getting called out on reality not matching the rhetoric. Like I implied in another thread, I see the HRC campaign as vulnerable to what caused them problems in 2007-2008. There are people with tightly held authority, or at least control issues, in the campaign, and there's always a real risk that their unified message won't come across and/or they'll be working at cross purposes.
HRC has people intensely loyal to her, and dedicated to electing her. If Bill Clinton starts getting some other campaign workers to start orbiting him, and following his cues, that could cause serious friction.
