View Photo »I think enough people said, 'Hey, if we send Obama off with a win, essentially, the primary's over,' and, 'It's too early.' So, a lot of different things happened and it was the toughest things we had to deal with in the whole campaign was that loss
At the same time the reporter was writing this story, David Plouffe was appearing on FOX and David Axelrod was on the day before.
The contact said that while John's inclination was to be with Obama, it seemed the Clinton folks were more intent on gaining his support
One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters
I think it would be catastrophic for them to nominate her ... A lot can change, but I doubt she'll run.

Everyone in Washington wants to predict what’s going to happen next fall. This thing’s got about 20 lifetimes ... I think the long-term political picture is this: You’ve got a Republican Party with historically low favorable ratings – moderates and centrists leaving the party.
There was a mythology during the campaign that President Obama did not take Hillary Clinton very seriously as VP. The truth is he did ... The fact that he chose her as Secretary of State reflects on how strongly he believes in her leadership quality and her skill.
I think we should thank John McCain for picking her in terms of how it helped us win in 2008 ... But I think we should doubly thank him now.
What surprised me at [our first meeting to discuss the vice presidency] was that Obama was clearly thinking more seriously about picking Hillary Clinton than Ax (David Axelrod) and I had realized
