Will David Plouffe or David Axelrod be a part of President Obama's White House?
Settled as Yes
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/19/obama-announces-more-white-house-staff/
Background:
Barack Obama's longtime campaign strategists have been key to his political journey. Should he win the election, will either gentlemen be invited to join the new administration? Presidents have a history with bringing with them a few staffers from the campaigns, which are long enough to favor solid working relationships. A few examples: George H. W. Bush had David Demarest, Clinton carried on with George Stephanopoulos, and President Bush appointed Karl Rove as his advisor. Will the same happen with David Plouffe and/or David Axelrod?
Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source. This question does not extend to other staffers, like Robert Gibbs and Devorah Adler.
