I would buy your argument that Clinton's campaign managers are at fault for her failure, if only Clinton had stuck to the voice that she most famously found after NH and fired Mr. Penn before she was forced to. The responsibility for a campaign's direction and its success or failure ultimately rests with the person responsible for signing off on the strategic and tactical procedures presented by his or her strategists. You cannot delegate ultimate success or assign blame to the handlers, as this is simply another obfuscation to exonerate the candidate, in this case Clinton, for her kitchen-sink (their term) unguided judgment and lack of cohesive campaign identity.
