So, yes, I very much doubt that David Plouffe had any input at all on Obama's visit to New Jersey.

Nice try, though.

Obama decided he would greet Christie on a tarmac with Marine One in the background. There would be reporters stationed with a particular angle to capture the two shaking hands.

Yes. Amazing...Obama managed to coordinate all that.

C'mon...Give credit to a superior campaign when credit is due. What has Romney done to plan for the storm that it was known days ago would have a significant impact on a lot of people.

Canned food drive? Pathetique!

You can try to make this into a political thing all you want. It was a function of governing.

Like I said, nice try, though.

Obama's and Crhistie's faces. Plouffe is too strategic to go near this type of event. Sorry.

Constantly looks like someone smeared poo under his nose every time they stage a scene that make him appear compassionate. That food drive was pathetic. My kids' elementary school gathered more assistance than a major political candidate.
