Mapping a Win

Eleanor, I am concerned about your consistent use of your reporter stature to validate your assertions rather than strong facts. You provide a narrative of Plouffe, resembling more of a biography than objective insight into his electoral college strategy. I specifically take issue your comment:

Were he any other partisan strategist, I would discount 50 percent for spin. But Plouffe is convincing, and here's why: He ran a brilliant primary campaign, and Obama will have the money and the technology to pursue every last vote he thinks might be his.

This statement???s validity is only supported by your personal belief that he is brilliant (and Obama???s money), and thus creates a cyclical argument. I know it is your right as an opinion writer to have a bias, but the assertions you make are weakened when you only validate them off of your internal beliefs and convictions. If your ideals are valid then it should be easy to find validation from sources other than yourself.

Bush is an idiot who plays the race card, lies, and doesn't have a clue on how to run a country. You would have to be an idiot to want such a low class self-centered butt hole as president.
