Esquire runs a must-read profile of Obama campaign manager David Plouffe and how he's going to help President Obama govern even though he's not part of the administration.

"It was Plouffe who gathered the president's unprecedented thirteen-million-name contact list, which has grown into a fulsome pulsing beast, and it is Plouffe who now owns it and keeps it under lock and key. Plouffe sent those thirteen million people an e-mail in mid-November and they replied, Yes, I still want to be involved, and yes, David Plouffe, I'll have house parties when you tell me to. Here is who I am socioeconomically and socially. I am boxers; my next-door neighbor is briefs. Now the president has instructed him to make that list a new lever of government." (Politicalwire)

to be a movie... all about Plouffe. I'll be first in line for both.
