Mr. Clinton, they said, is still confident that his wife can regain momentum if her campaign presents her message — and particularly criticism of Mr. Obama — more sharply. He took matters into his own hands Monday, campaigning at four events across Iowa to deliver that message: that Mrs. Clinton was a “change agent.” In a sign of internal strains, some of Mrs. Clinton’s associates said they thought Mr. Clinton was struggling to make the adjustment from principal candidate to supportive spouse. In one example of this, Mr. Clinton asserted in Iowa last month that he had been against the war in Iraq “from the beginning,” a statement more absolute than his public statements at the time. His remark produced a round of criticism that the Clintons too frequently parse their positions for political gain. It is in the interest of Mrs. Clinton’s advisers to reduce expectations for their candidate. Still, their assessment that Mrs. Clinton was having trouble mastering the political intricacies of this state was echoed by Democrats in other campaigns, and reflected by the sometimes tin-ear quality of the Clinton campaign here.
