LA Times: How Bill Clinton helped sink his wife's campaign... overruling campaign aides, Bill stayed in South Carolina too long

In the early weeks of 2008, the Clinton campaign had plenty of baggage and obstacles to deal with. But nobody at the Clinton campaign was prepared for the headaches caused by the candidate's husband.

The dispute over Bill Clinton's schedule shows how easily plans can unravel. Some campaign staffers didn't expect to win South Carolina overall, but "our strategy was to go after specific districts in South Carolina" to add to the delegate total while freeing Bill Clinton to spend time in other Southern states, said a Clinton campaign aide.

But Bill Clinton said " 'I need to be in South Carolina,' " the aide said. "It was a one-man mission out there."
