Politico looks at an underexamined aspect of the Obama campaign: the fact that there's been almost none of the "team in disarray" coverage that typically accrues to campaigns at this point in the race. To be sure, a good deal of that has to do with the fact that Obama's group has been mostly successful thus far, notwithstanding the last couple of weeks. Still, "internal upheaval" is a default favorite for The Boys (and Girls) on the Bus. How has Team Obama avoided it?

"Intense loyalty to and belief in the candidate," says Democratic consultant Jim Jordan. "Simple, clear lines of authority with real discipline among the staff and consultants. Deep, talented teams. Maybe most importantly, candidates who trust their campaign, who understand what they're doing, who deliver as well as demand loyalty, who intuitively relate to and handle their campaigns with just the right touch."

If those characteristics sound familiar, there's a good reason: Jordan is making a direct comparison to the George W. Bush campaign organizations from the last two elections. But if you're a Democrat who worries that your messiah's team may be just like the other side's, fear not: There is at least one significant difference.

"There are going to be no assholes on this campaign," says Obama strategist David Axelrod.

Now that's the kind of change we can all applaud for. If not necessarily believe in. We'll see what happens if they lose Indiana.
