Its not what you say, but the way that you say it

When it comes to being wealthy, your bank account is really only part of the problem.

George W. Bush was born with all the advantages in life, but retained a kind of folksy connection with the voters that his patrician father never managed.

Political operatives call it the beer test: would you like to have a beer with this guy or gal?

John McCain, former marine and Mr Obamas 2012 opponent, also seemed at ease with the voters, even though he failed to recall how many vacation homes he and wife owned. Was it seven, or eight?

And Hillary has a hauteur problem?

You could say that. Political analysts have noticed that Mrs Clinton cant always disguise the sense of entitlement which comes with being a former First Lady, New York senator, Secretary of State and the grand dame of the Democrats.

Like earlier this year when she launched her manifesto-memoir Hard Choices and complained peevishly to an interviewer that she and Bill were dead broke and in debt when they left the White House:

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- The staffing search for a Hillary Clinton campaign manager is heating up, and a Clinton spokesman acknowledged Thursday that the former secretary of state is "casting a wide net" when talking to different people about about a would-be presidential bid.

Clinton met with Guy Cecil, the outgoing head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, on Wednesday in Washington, according to Politico, and has talked with Robby Mook, a former Clinton aide, about 2016. Both are seen as frontrunner for the top job in a Clinton campaign.

Although Clinton's spokesman said he wouldn't confirm or deny the meeting and conversations occurred, Nick Merrill acknowledged that Clinton is talking with a wide array of people about 2016.

"As she decides, she's casting a wide net and wants to hear from a variety of people on a range of specific topics, from policy ideas to what a successful campaign would look like," Merrill said in an email.

Democrats have repeatedly said that Clinton has yet to make up her mind, but according to people close to Clinton, there have long been four names in the campaign manager race: Cecil, Mook, Stephanie Schriock and Ace Smith.

Here is what you need to know about each.

Cecil:

Although Cecil, as executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was at the helm when Democrats lost the Senate in 2014, he is close with the Clintons -- particularly Bill Clinton -- and worked as Hillary Clinton's national political and field director in 2008.

Cecil is an unpretentious figure and has won the trust of many on Capitol Hill. Earlier in his career he led the standard journeyman campaign life, working for campaigns in Arkansas, North Carolina and Colorado (where he led Sen. Michael Bennet's dark-horse win in 2010).

While Hillary Clinton has not yet officially announced her expected candidacy in the 2016 presidential election, someone out there is eager to get the country music audience on her side early. Whether it'll work or not is another matter.

Katy Perry Offers to Write Hillary Clinton Campaign Theme Song

We all know that most states where country music is most popular also tend to lean right politically, so a new Super PAC called Stand With Hillary has released a country ballad bearing the same name with a video targeting working families. And, well, it's kind of odd.

Watch it here:

Though the clip was released last month, today it got the Internet's attention and Twitter users have been ready to make a mockery of it.

The track is written by Miguel Orozco, who's only other writing credit with ASCAP is the Obama Spanish Reggaeton track "Como Se Dice...Como Se Llama (Obama, Obama)." And as TMZ directs us, the clip's country musician is played by actor Jason Tobias, who is convincing in the role but will probably hold little weight with true country music fans.

Bill and Hillary Clinton Musical to Make U.S. Debut

The super PAC is run by Daniel Chavez, reports Fusion, a longtime Democratic operative with experience in former President Bill Clinton's administration and Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign. He told the website that the PAC's intent is to promote Clinton to working-class people, young people and Latinos, and the country ballad was geared towards men specifically. There will be at least four more similar videos, as well, with one aimed at Latinos and others at millennials. So be sure to look out for those too.
