Clinton Weighs Staff Shake-up After New Hampshire

The Clintons -- stung by her narrow victory in Iowa -- had been planning to reassess staffing at the campaign’s Brooklyn headquarters after the first four primaries, but the Clintons have become increasingly caustic in their criticism of aides and demanded the reassessment sooner, a source told POLITICO.

My opinion. Too much reactive chaos, too little clarity, awareness, chronic poor judgement.

4. Hillary's Campaign Has Been out of Touch With Reality

Before she began her official campaign, I heard Hillary and her staff focused on Jeb. To them he was the presumptive Republican nominee.

During the early part of Bernie's campaign, if Hillary was asked a question about Bernie, she would quickly shift the conversation to Republicans. She wouldn't even mention Bernie by name. That was her strategy. It worked fine in the beginning as many people believed this Primary Election was Hillary versus "those other guys".

Times have changed for Hillary and may very well change inside the campaign.

for my "side." I think most people here do.

Also, to the extent that I have a "side," both Hillary and Bernie are on it.

I guess she doesn't realize that "getting caustic" is not the best way to inspire loyalty and enthusiasm. Maybe more punishment will do the trick.

It was just reported in Politico this morning that Penn is apparently advising Team Clinton again.

Mark Penn told Hillary to consider resigning after Obama told Russians he'd have more flexibility after election
