Obama's manager ignoring polls
Obama's manager ignoring national polls: The Swamp
DENVER - Barack Obama and John McCain are in a dead-heat in national polls.
Obama's campaign manager couldn't care less.
David Plouffe, one of the architects of Obama's surprise rise to the top of his party, suggests that he all but ignores the national polls. As Don Frederick, our colleague at Top of the Ticket relays the press briefing that Plouffe held, Obama's manager said:
"We don't pay attention to national polls.''
What they do pay attention to: The 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, a calculation that focuses instead on the 50-state contest., and, in the places where Obama shows the most potential for winning, the work of the campaign to spur a strong turnout of Obama voters. (The electoral map favors Obama at this stage.)
