I wrote the political plan for the 2006 midterms. A political plan is basically the who/what/when of the year: key people Obama should be seeing, major events that we should be planning around, and how it all fits together so that at the end of the year you can say, “We wanted to get XYZ done, and we did.” (Or didn’t.) It’s also a very good way to make sure the most senior people and Obama are aligned on the mission.
