Whether Mrs. Clinton can continue to surprise when the events become larger and the klieg lights grow hotter is an open question. The style of campaigning and message will be tested over time, but the tone and humility of the launch has been very much what she needed to do, said David Axelrod, a longtime adviser to Mr. Obama and an architect of his presidential campaigns.
