Plouffe Confident on State of the Race
NASHVILLE - Obama campaign manager, David Plouffe, sent an email to supporters, urging them to watch tonight’s debate, and dishing on the campaign’s strategy in a video message.
Taped yesterday in Asheville, North Carolina, Plouffe noted they had an “excellent chance” of winning the Tar Heel State and that there was “a lot of good news” to discuss.
Plouffe believes Obama has solidified support in many of the states John Kerry won in ‘04, and since McCain “remarkably” pulled out of Michigan, he said the GOP is targeting only four states: Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
“We feel very strong about our chances in all four of those states,” Plouffe said, saying they would continue “to fight as hard as we can” there. Meanwhile on offense, Obama is “gaining strength” in North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Florida, and Ohio, he said.
Plouffe couldn’t resist talking about his campaign’s documentary on McCain’s ties to Charles Keating of the late ’80s savings and loan crisis in the four and a half minute video, before urging supporters to donate their money and time. “We’re gonna ask you to continue to really do inhuman amounts of work for us, because the future of our country is at stake,” he urged them, adding the campaign would “help facilitate” their travel to one of the battleground states.

FIRST OF ALL SENATOR MC CAIN WAS EXONARATED ON THE KEATING INVESTIGATION.
IT SCARES ME HOW PEOPLE ARE SO EAGER FOR CHANGE WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING HOW AND WHO IS THE PERSON OFFERING IT.
OF COURSE OBAMA’S ASSOCIATION WITH EXTREMIST AND AVOIDING EXPLANATIONS RELATES TO HIS ECONOMIC PROPOSAL..IT GOES TO CHARACTER..SORT OF THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS..ONCE IN POWER WE WILL ALL DANCE TO ANOTHER TUNE..
GOD SAVE US
Why doesn’t someone ask Obama about his plan to increase foreign aid,we need to cut out foreign aid completely as long as we have a deficit. Average people don’t give away money they don’t have,especially to people who don’t like them.
what about obamas ties to all these anti american people.

Al Gore was confident, John Kerry was confident, and the media was sure of itself…then then votes were tallied and they were all wrong! Polls have been wrong in the last two elections. People not the polls or the media decide.
