Plouffe would be a guarantee of smarts, a no-drama hand on the tiller, a likely tranformer of the Obama Movememt into a Democratic Party on steroids.

Please, Mr. Plouffe, on behalf of the vast infrastructure of dedicated Democratic field organizers and community activists, go run the DNC.

Obama should look to Cheney to understand how a pro -- even one who so damaged the interests of the nation -- managed power and purpose in government.

As the manager of Obama's campaign, Plouffe steered the best-run presidential campaign in years. He efficiently matched man, message, money, and machine.

Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.

It's hard to describe how transported we felt walking out of that women's conference. Some were in tears. Others felt reassured to have heard in person the kind of policy Obama wants to enact.

The Obama campaign has finally taken the gloves all the way off. They will make available a documentary explaining how the savings-and-loan collapses in the 80s were connected to McCain and helped cause the current credit crisis.

What a bizarre week for Obama to mount a counter-programming effort. He has the RNC and Hurricanes Gustav and Sarah. It's going pretty well for him -- not that he has all that much to do with it.

If the campaign doesn't want to offend powerful superdelegates during the convention, fine. But then the safer course is to push this change after November and without a commission.

With the presidential nominee's Kansas roots, a Sebelius selection would make for a wonderful narrative, a tale of the heartland which could be spun to great effect at the Convention, and one that would help dispel the "exotic" aspersions cast at Obama.
