Leahy - Here's what they are/will do; they are reminding press that he
supports HRC so that it's in all the articles (like the tweet that
went out today from a local reporter that got some traction). Also,
when they get calls they are providing them background on why he
supports her – long time relationship, working with her on so many
issues, and their trip in Haiti.  The local affiliates that are
traveling to DC for this announcement have asked Leahy to do a stand
up after Bernie's announcement. He said no. But, it's very likely that
they will find Leahy and he is prepared with pro HRC talking points.
For his own politics, he will also have to say Bernie is fighting for
some important issues and then he will say but he supports HRC. We
have him in a good spot.

He wants to be helpful WO being too direct or confrontational/disrespectful.
