Plouffe: Obama will have 1 million vote popular vote lead when all said and done

[Steeler1623]

He said that on his conference call today.

That seems a bit high to me, but even if is, it suggests that the Obama campaign is very confident they will lead in the popular vote at the end. Obama is going to be leading by all the fair democratic measures of the race, and I seriously doubt that the Democratic party is going to take the race away from him under these circumstances.

1. RCP bears that out

even with Florida and Michican (where he wasn't on the ballot, and didn't get a SINGLE vote due to that fact, while Clinton racked up 350,000) Obama is ahead in the popular vote.

2. And that doesn't even include Maine, Washington, Iowa ...

and maybe a couple of other caucues that haven't reported vote totals.

3. His internal polling has been almost pefect. It has never been off by more than a point or two.....

He even knew the outcome of NH a week before it happened.

4. Plouffe will make a great Director of the White House Office of Political Affairs.

He's a strategist who can really build a Democratic majority for America.

5. Wouldn't Obama make him chief of staff?

[Not the Only One]

8. That's probably David Axelrod

He'd be the guy for Chief of Staff.

6. For all intents and purposes, it was over on Super Tuesday.

I'm not sure what miracle Hillary and her supporters are hoping for.

A VP slot?

7. You know scary about the Obama Campaign's predictions so far?

They're almost always dead on. Except for Maine which they thought would go for Hillary, they have correctly predicted every contest right down to the percentages (close to the percentages). These predictions were made a month ago after super tuesday. They know the electorate very well.
