Clinton Reassesses Campaign With Thursday Debate as First Test

[Purveyor]

The day after suffering a stinging defeat at the hands of New Hampshire primary voters, Hillary Clinton retreated to New York to assess her campaign organization, her message and to prepare for a Thursday debate that will now take on greater importance as she heads into the next round of contests.

From the moment the polls closed in New Hampshire Tuesday night and it was clear that Bernie Sanders was running away with a 20-point winning margin in the Democratic presidential primary, Clinton’s aides rushed out with reassurance to donors and supporters and tried to bat away reports of a staff shakeup to right the campaign.
Some of her key backers on Wednesday also put out word that Clinton was still the long bet to be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016.

“Last night’s loss doesn’t change my confidence in the secretary becoming the Democratic nominee,” said Robert Wolf, chief executive officer of 32 Advisors, who backed Barack Obama over Clinton in 2008 and now supports the former secretary of state. “I never thought it would be a straight path to the general without any bumps on the road, as it never is.”

Sanders Outreach

Sanders, who bested Clinton among women and young voters, turned his attention to cultivating another crucial component of the Democratic coalition that helped Obama twice win the White House. The Vermont senator also was in New York to meet with civil rights activist Al Sharpton. Sharpton tweeted pictures of his sit-down with Sanders at Sylvia’s Restaurant, a Harlem landmark.

1. Sanders will reiterate his message - the same one he's had forever.

I hope Clinton can find a message that resonates. Retooling after every event doesn't lend much consistency.
