1. David Plouffe is the manager, I believe
Axelrod is part of it as well.

3. David Plouffe is Obama's chief campaign manager, David Axelrod is Obama's chief strategist.

4. No .. Obama is the one effectively running his campaign..at least from what I see ..The main strateg
is set by him.

I remember him talking to some people in wall street last summer I think , when they asked him what experience do you have that will lead us to trust or something similar, he replied, my campaign will be the example of my leadership, watch how I run my campaign, or something to that effect.
Does anyone remember that article?

12. I hadn't heard that.
I hope he'll run the country as well as he has his campaign.

Obama is the one effectively running his campaign...The main strategy is set by him...(He's said)...my campaign will be the example of my leadership, watch how I run my campaign...

I read an interview with a member of a band who attributed the increase in their fortunes to replacing their manager with "someone who helps us manage ourselves." I think that describes Obama's relationship with Plouffe--or at least, they've done an exemplary job of creating that image! In contrast, Hillary comes across as insecure, highly scripted and unable to make the simplest judgment calls without calling in a battery of consultants.

11. Plouffe is the campaign manager, but I give most of the credit to Axelrod.
