Biden camp's line is similar to one he's made, conveying mix of humility that he could lose while trying to project strength he hopes to win He said Iowa holds “keys to the kingdom.” So is it a must-win? “No. I think you’ve got to finish at the top. You’ve got to be competitive” — PolitiTweet.org

Biden advisers, preparing for a long slog, play down expectations in Iowa and NH. And for a campaign that has often touted strength in the polls and perceived electability, it was a unique concession: Biden could afford lose the first two contests. https://t.co/mDQxFh8veu — PolitiTweet.org

“The Democratic Party is more than Twitter," the Biden adviser adds. "And it’s more than just a slice of the ideological spectrum. The Democratic Party represents a lot of interests. It’s older than people want to admit sometimes. It’s more ideologically diverse." — PolitiTweet.org

“He has more optimistic vision,” one senior Biden adviser said. “Sometimes the Democratic message is so negative, almost exclusively negative. It doesn’t offer a lot of hope or optimism in the future.” — PolitiTweet.org

“The newest story line is Biden making gaffes and mistakes. People say how is it possible he says these things and voters rally to him?” one adviser says. “There’s a depth of understanding that people believe they know him. They trust him, they believe him.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senior Biden campaign officials on call with reporters emphasize his standing: 316 endorsers in 25 states, and claim he has a coalition that’s more diverse than his rivals. Concede he’s not as strong among young voters, which they attribute to them not being familiar with record. — PolitiTweet.org
