Every single quoted source in this article was a Republican campaign operative repeating their own talking points.
It doesn't dispute these talking points. It doesn't ask what agenda the GOP has in spreading them.
It's clear Republicans are trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy: tell the press the Clintons will hijack things and during the convention the press will say it.
It won't be true, because is a purely subjective statement. What will be true is lazy dishonest pundity - like Walter Shapiro - will create the perception by dutifully repeating it.
Intentional or not, Salon is carrying water like Gunga Din. This article is nothing but providing fodder for the comments page arguments and spreading disinformation for the GOP.
