From Adam Nagourney, Patrick Healy, and Kate Zernike in today's New York Times...

"[X] showed a tendency toward an insular management style, relying on a coterie of aides who have worked for [X] for years, [X]'s aides and associates said. [X]'s choice of lieutenants, and... insistence on staying with them even when friends urged [X] to shake things up, was blamed by some associates for the campaign’s woes. Again and again, [X] was portrayed as a manager who valued loyalty and familiarity over experience and expertise."
