When I saw the actual Mr. Plouffe speak in June, he informed the assembled that additional fiscal and monetary stimulus wasn't necessary to get the economy moving again. He openly mocked Paul Krugman. He assured us that it was just a confidence issue, and soon as "the markets" were sure that the federal deficit was being addressed, everything would turn around.
When I get emails like this now, I think, "Well, David, no additional organizing is necessary. It's just a confidence issue. If you reassure your supporters by doing nothing, they'll just decide to show up in November and support Dems in the same numbers and with the same enthusiasm as in 2008."
