David Plouffe PA tweet

“This guy is clearly not liking his internal briefings on the state of the race in Pennsylvania. “

He is a senior person on Kamala’s campaign. Maybe he feels good about PA numbers???

4. Plouffe was a 'senior person' for Obama:

'Plouffe was the campaign manager for Barack Obama's successful 2008 presidential campaign. He is credited with the campaign's overall strategy in the race (primarily against then-Senator Hillary Clinton) for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, to focus on the first caucus in Iowa and on maximizing the number of pledged delegates, as opposed to focusing on states with primaries and the overall popular vote. He is also credited by The New Republic for Obama's success in the Iowa caucus and for crafting an overall strategy to prolong the primary past Super Tuesday. The Chicago Tribune wrote "Plouffe was the mastermind behind a winning strategy that looked well past Super Tuesday's contests on Feb. 5 and placed value on large and small states".[19] Plouffe also maintained discipline over communications, including controlling leaks and releasing information about the campaign on its terms. Personally averse to publicity, Plouffe's control over the internal workings of the campaign avoided the publicly aired squabbles that tend to trouble campaigns.'

night. They were both opining on how close the horse race is, but it sure looked to me as if Plouffe was trying very hard to suppress a smile during that discussion.

14. Plouffe plays a careful game to keep Dems motivated

If he says the race is "tied", he knows Dems will continue to be motivated to turn out.

But if he's smiling like this, I'm also smiling. Plouffe knows his stuff.

more of a smirk, but he gave me the impression he knew more than he was letting on.

The show should be on msnbc's website. You can judge for yourself.

because if it wasn't and he really looks like that, he's not of this earth and needs to be promptly returned to the mothership. That's one really strange-looking dude, the stuff of nightmares. If I were a kid and I imagined that the monster under my bed looked like that, I'd never turn my lights off again.
