It’s been a while since I’ve been truly inside the bubble of a presidential campaign. As Hillary Clinton’s press plane (which is not the same thing as Hillary Clinton’s plane) touched down a few minutes ago in Sioux City, I was reminded of how hard the campaigns work in their efforts to leave as little as possible to subjective interpretation. Campaign spokesman Jay Carson took the microphone and gave us this guidance over the P/A system about the next event of the day at the Sioux City Art Center:

“You’re going to continue to hear a good, strong, confident candidate who feels the wind at her back.”

Got it.

Over at Firedoglake, Jane Hamsher has this tale of how things work in this regard. (H/T to commenter Jayackroyd for alerting us to this.)
