_Published 2016-02-07. Across New Hampshire, candidates are engaging in the kind of retail politics that is only possible in a small state: attending luncheons and speaking at town halls, shaking voters’ hands in restaurants, and taking hundreds of selfies._

Hillary Clinton said she plans to “take stock” on her campaign following what is anticipated to be a loss in New Hampshire on Tuesday, though she said she’s “very confident” and “very committed” to her staff.

“We’re going to take stock, what works, what doesn’t work. We’re moving into a different phase of the campaign,” Clinton [told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow](http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/clinton-responds-rumors-about-staff-shake). “We’re moving into a more diverse electorate. We’re moving into different geographic areas. So, of course it would be malpractice not to say, ‘OK, what worked? What can we do better? What do we have to do new and different that we have to pull out?’”

The comments followed a [Politico piece citing anonymous sources](http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/hillary-clinton-staff-shakeup-218955) claiming that both Hillary and Bill Clinton were unhappy with how the campaign was going and that they were looking to “shake up” the staff after New Hampshire.

Clinton staff pushed back hard against the report. “There is zero truth to what you may be reading. It’s wrong. Hillary stands behind her team, period,” [tweeted John Podesta](https://twitter.com/johnpodesta/status/696809356566929408), Clinton’s campaign chair.

“Campaigns are normally assessed on how they’re doing at various points,” David Brock, who runs several outside groups that work with the campaign to promote and defend Clinton, told TIME in an interview.

But the reports were reminiscent of 2008, when the Clinton campaign was hobbled by campaign staff litigating disagreements in the press through anonymously sourced stories like the Politico one. The vast majority of Clinton’s team this time around is made up of former Obama campaign and White House alums. Leaking was a relatively rare issue for Obama.

The Politico story says that many of Clinton’s current staff are frustrated by both Clintons’ continued reliance on old friends and counsels such as Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Sidney Blumenthal, branding expert Roy Spence and even—in the case of Bill—pollster Mark Penn, who many blame for Clinton’s losing 2008 bid. Even if Clinton’s campaign staff doesn’t leak, it’s clearly impossible to control all the external players in Clintonland, a symptom of working for a couple who’ve been in power or powerful for more than 30 years.

After losing Iowa in 2008, Clinton fired campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle and replaced her with longtime friend and aide Maggie Williams.

But in 2008, fundraisers were revolting at the way the campaign was being mismanaged and many jumped ship to Obama or at least began hedging their bets. This time, there is no such fundraiser unhappiness—not, at least, at the same levels as was seen in 2008\. Few seem to be jumping ship or even considering hedging their bets with rival Bernie Sanders.


Also, in 2008 Clinton’s path to the nomination was thrown into doubt by Obama’s surge. Despite his likely win in New Hampshire, Sanders is still considered a longshot for the nomination given his lack of appeal with minorities and blue collar Democrats.


## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] Theres just a few days left until the primary. So here in New Hampshire all the candidates are hosting events 30 minutes, maybe 10, 15 minutes away from each other Throughout the day. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Okay. Kind of crazy stairs. The camera lady should be careful. Ask yourselves this. How many presidential elections have you heard the same things? We're gonna secure the border. We've been talking about that for 25 years, folks. We're gonna reform the tax code. We're gonna reform social security. We're gonna care for our veterans. Has any of that happened in the last 40 years? No. When we began our campaign, there were a lot of media pundits who were commenting on my hair.

[ LAUGH ] [ INAUDIBLE ] A lot has changed in the last nine months. Is it fair that we have more income and wealth inequality than any major country on Earth today? Why is that? [ APPLAUSE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] [ APPLAUSE ] Sometimes run into people who say I'm trying to make up my mind between you and Senator Sanders. Sometimes they have a specific question, but sometimes they said, well, it's kinda between my heart and my head. I said, well I can solve that for you. What motivates me everyday is what's in my heart. [ APPLAUSE ] I wanna say a word to the extraordinary People particularly young people who are supporting Senator Sanders.

I know you may not be for me now, but I am for you and I << will work hard. [ MUSIC ] [ CROSSTALK ] Whoo. Whoo. [ UNKNOWN ] How are you? Good to see you [ UNKNOWN ]. Good to see you. [ CROSSTALK ] We really wanted to come by cause [ UNKNOWN ] was the place where we kicked off our campaign in June. On the day that we announced we left New Jersey came right to New Hampshire and did our first town hall meeting. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Thank you. You enjoyed it up here right? Yes we did. We just left the Christi event and it only lasted 15 minutes. It was definitely the shortest event of the day.

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] Over and over again, when we face impossible odds, the American people rose to the challenge. Everyone's here tonight because we recognize our country's in crisis. We're bankrupting our kids and grandkids. Our Constitutional rights are under assault each and every day. And America has receded from leadership in the world and it has made the world a much more dangerous place. The stakes in this election could not be higher. [ NOISE ] If we wake up on, what is it, the first Wednesday in November, maybe it's the second Wednesday in November, to the news that Bernie Sanders is the president of the United States.

Or to the news that Hilary Clinton is the president of the United States. [ NOISE ] You like her less than Bernie. [ LAUGH ] If you nominate me, I will unify this party. We can't win unless we're together and the Democrats would love nothing more than to have us fighting against each other for the next six months. I will unify the conservative movement, if I'm our nominee. [ APPLAUSE ]. [ MUSIC ]. Take care buddy. [ UNKNOWN ]
