Contra David Plouffe, Barack Obama will not “go down to the fire fighting.” That would imply that Barack Obama knew how to fight in the first place, instead of finding somebody who would do that for him. Which is something that David Plouffe should know very well, given that he was there when Barack Obama used that strategy to get elected*.
Ah, David: the lies that they tell, in this business! – Especially the lies that they tell themselves.

“down to the wire fighting.”
One sentence really makes me… well, let’s say I think it is a feature the people on guard have careers that do not end Jan 20, 2017. “Or a sudden “rally around the president” event, such as (God forbid) a major terrorist attack, could propel the president’s approval rating dramatically upward.”
“*It’s going to be hysterical when somebody goes ahead and assumes that Plouffe and his fellow power-gamers can go back to that particular well any time that they like.”
We wrongly assumed that with Rove.
