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.'
