From Our Correspondent: An Obama Insider Speaks

We thank a gentle reader who will remain totally anonymous for sharing these tidbits from a conversation while seated on an airplane next to an Obama staffer, which we quote in our correspondent's own words:

• The Obama camp are shocked at how well things have gone. They thought they could give her a run for the money but no one thought they could possibly TKO her at this rather early date.
• His head campaign directors (Axelrod & Pluff are the last names I think) are seen as geniuses within political circles and their strategies will be copied for years to come.
• The Clinton machine is unbelievably well built and he respects his adversary immensely.
• The base of their support sounds a lot like a large scale Huckabee type operation…literally millions of people volunteering their time and giving small donations over and over again to keep the campaign rolling at a phenomenal pace. In fact in front of me was a kid from Stanford who flew in between exams to work free for the campaign for the weekend in Cincinnati. A ton of volunteer free labor that dwarfs Clinton’s army.
