On Sunday, Hillary Clinton wrapped up two months of campaigning for Democrats running in the midterm elections, a veritable dry run for a 2016 presidential campaign.

Her 45 campaign events in 18 states and the District of Columbia since Sept. 9 included a few trips to Iowa (the site of her campaign's biggest stumble in the 2008 Democratic primary) and New Hampshire (the early state that gave it life again), and took her across the country to build good will among dozens of Democrats fighting tough political battles who she will be able to turn to for assistance should she need it in 2016.

But it also was a reminder of just how carefully Clinton had to tread during every moment of an election in which she wasn't even running because Republicans already have her in their sights. For now, they're busy trying to take control of the Senate, but that will soon change.

"Smart Republicans are focused on turning out the vote," said Scott Reed, the senior political strategist for the Chamber of Commerce. "The 2016 race starts November 5th."

The past several weeks have already shown Republican lawmakers attacking Clinton's verbal miscues on the stump, mocking her status as a presumptive frontrunner (if she runs), and trying to tie her to President Obama's administration, which has seen more popular days.

Several potential Republican candidates seized on a remark Clinton made last week while campaigning in Massachusetts. She was aiming for a critique of Republican economic policies, but she missed her mark, telling voters, "Don't let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs."

Hillary Clinton's campaign is quietly beginning to take shape.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton has spent the final moments of the midterm campaign season publicly deflecting the flurry of questions about her likely run for president.

But behind the scenes, her campaign machine is quietly whirring to life.

Clinton insiders have begun to approach Washington-based Democratic operatives who may play a role in a potential campaign and are soliciting their recommendations on other possible staffers, according to Democrats familiar with the conversations.

A number Clinton associates are compiling staffing lists, according to multiple Democratic sources. Michael Whouley and Minyon Moore of the Democratic communications and consulting firm Dewey Square Group are one conduit to Clinton's inner circle and among the primary compilers of the campaign universe that will surround Clinton, should she run.

The firm is led by veteran players in Clinton world. Whouley was an adviser to Vice President Al Gore and a Clinton campaign aide while Moore is a longtime Clinton confidante.

Ginny Terzano, head of communications for Dewey Square, said the characterization is "incorrect."

"DSG officials have no role" in a potential Clinton campaign, she said.

Operatives at the firm are reviewing possible Clinton staffers "under the guise of spitballing ideas," as one Democratic source put it.

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign quietly begins to take shape

NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Long viewed as an ally by Wall Street, likely 2016 presidential contender Hillary Clinton has increasingly been taking banks and big business to task while on the campaign trail for Democrats across the country.

Many Democratic strategists see the sharper rhetoric as an effort to win over liberal critics, such as supporters of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. It comes days before Tuesday's midterm elections and as Clinton ramps up her political activity ahead of a probable White House bid.

Al has pushed for more and better oversight of the big banks and risky financial activity, Clinton said in support of Senator Al Franken in Minnesota in late October.

There's a lot of unfinished business to make sure we don't end up once again with big banks taking big risks and leaving taxpayers holding the bag, she said, in the starkest example yet of her populist turn.

This is a change of tone for the former New York senator, who faced criticism for her Wall Street ties as recently as September, after appearing with Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein.

Allies and analysts see it as an effort to find the balance between populism and her familiar centrism that Clinton may need in order to broaden her appeal in a potential 2016 Democratic primary contest.

What she's trying to do, really, is find her message. This is something that she struggled with in 2008 (while losing the Democratic nomination battle to Barack Obama), and she really didn't have to do it as secretary of state, said Brookings Institution campaign expert John Hudak.

She's trying to thread the needle, to say to progressives, 'I'm your candidate,' but also say to Iowa Democrats, 'I'm your candidate, too.'

Clinton, who was secretary of state from 2009-2013, has not declared her candidacy, although supporters have built a national campaign structure to await a presumed run. She says she will decide whether or not to run early next year and for now she is campaigning for others, largely in states where Obama is unpopular. Sunday's New Hampshire swing comes after Saturday stops in Louisiana and Kentucky.
