Oh, I don't think it's too early to question Plouffe's sanity,
James.
Greg Sargent notes that the
Quinnipiac Poll finds a majoriity voters in four (actual) swing
states favor maintaining U.S. military deployment in Iraq "until
the situation is more stable . . . without a fixed date for full
withdrawal."
If voters in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin don't
share Obama's oft-expressed enthusiasm for a a rapid and
unconditional withdrawal, how much sense does that Alaska trip
make? And what if I told you that in two of those states (Michigan
and
Colorado) Obama is under 50% and McCain is within 5% or 6%?
What if I further reminded you that Hillary won Michigan and that
the DNC allotted Michigan's delegates only half-representation at
the Democratic convention?
With such real cause for concern in these real battleground
states, how can Team Obama even think about diverting
their resources and their candidate's time to Alaska?
BTW, James, were you aware you just used "we" and "Obamacons" in
the same sentence?
