How Obama Won — Exerpts from David Plouffe’s Book
Both Time Mag and ABC have put up excerpts from David Plouffe’s forthcoming memoir about the Obama campaign:
George Stephanopolis does a blog post of 10 “revealing” nuggets from the book.
Time Mag excerpts part of the book.
Quick takeaway — this definitely looks like a memoir. I’ve no idea how much more detail or analysis will be here, but from the early treatment (look what he says about Bill! look what he says about John Edwards!) there won’t be all that much. I miss those Making of the President books.
My suspicion is that there won’t be too much new info in terms of process or horserace – especially if you followed this race via some of the better blogs. There will be some interesting bits in terms of personalities (John Edwards looking as craven as some folks always expected him to be), but I’d bet that the No Drama Obama mantra prevails here.

The Stephanopolis post was good — crap, did I just say that?
I’m surprised by the emphasis on Wright in that article.
And what has Obama accomplished from the campaign.
Unemployment or jobs, no.
Get out of Iraq, no.
Win in Afghanistan, no.
Health Care, no.
Financial Reform, no.
In other words ,he lied.
