Getting serious

It makes me very happy to hear that the Obama folks are bringing David Plouffe and his team back into the fold to run the Dem 2010 election effort.

I'm assuming Tim Kaine already signed off, but you could imagine some rifts between Plouffe's role and the "career" DNC people and also tensions between Plouffe and all the local campaigns.

However, the guy is a demographic wizard, and folks will buck him (and his White House backers) at their own peril.

(What role will Plouffe play in allocating national money to individual races?)
