big deal for Obama campaign
Wednesday, February 4, 2009 by kate
David Plouffe, Pres. Obama’s campaign manager, has signed a book deal with Viking reported to be worth $1.5 M."The Audacity to Win: The Inside Story and Lessons of Barack Obama's Historic Victory" is due out next fall, according to the Associated Press.
Viking says the book will offer a unique look at campaign decisions, the initial battle with Hillary Clinton, McCain drama and lessons learned.
While Viking declined to discuss financials, 2 anonymous publishing executives said bidding reached $1.5-$2 M.
I wonder if he’ll pay taxes on that.

I’m a coffee addict with a book fetish. I dream of having a third hand so I can sip my double-tall nonfat-no-whip toffee nut latte and turn pages at the same time. Really neat book covers call to me. When I'm not working as an editor for Captivate Network, I'm scurrying around town, looking for fuel to feed my inner bookworm.
