The Chicago Tribune has an article on Senator Obama's campaign manager,
David Plouffe. Interestingly, Plouffe was the campaign manager for the
winning New Jersey Senatorial campaign of Bob "The Torch" Torricelli
back in 1996. Also of interest is the following:
In
2003 and early 2004, he served as a senior adviser to Gephardt's
short-lived presidential bid, a dozen years after getting his first
taste for presidential politics working on a campaign for Sen. Tom
Harkin of Iowa.
Hmmmm. Perhaps this is one more reason why Dick Gephardt could end up on the Dem ticket.
Speaking
of Dick Gephardt, a couple of weeks ago I walked right past him as he
was entering the Illinois state capitol building. I have no idea why
he was there, and there was no mention of his visit by any of the media
sources that cover Illinois politics and state government.
