David Plouffe1. when Barack Obama won the US presidential election (4/5 Nov 08), i looked/search for his political assistant/manager/strategist -- and found this -- David Plouffe (DP) -- pls read who is DP HERE and HERE. DP is Obama's campaign manager.
2. some say, behind every successful man there is a woman. behind every politician there is a mastermind (MM), no matter he/she is a good politician or not. The MM must master in all aspects.
3. a politician must have/hire smart mastermind (MM), expert in all fields, to strategise plans to win people's hearts.
.
...Good politician + Smart MM = Winner
...Bad politician + Smart MM = Still can win (can kautim)
...Bad politician + Average MM = Tough Job
...Bad politician + Bad MM = Out you go
4. so, to me, the real man behind succesfull politician is his/her mastermind – the man with the art of convincing others + team + sentiments + play around with facts & figures + managing risks & countermeasures + a man with extra vision/views + have broad knowledge of people needs & desires + damage control planning + walk the talk + draft policy + etc.

5. kalau di Malaysia saya tak pasti siapakah Pak Lah punya mastermind dan saya tak mau kategorikan MM Pak Lah tu di tahap mana. Siapa MM YAB Najib, pun saya tak tau.
kalau untuk Ku Li, elok MM nya -- Datuk Kamal Amir Kamal Hijaz -- teliti cara kerja David Plouffe ini..
dari team PKR saya nampak dan tertarik dengan cara kerja YB Saifuddin Nasution. Saya rasa dia adalah MM kepada PKR dan terutamanya untuk DSAI.
kalau dari PAS - saya nampak YB Husam Musa + YB Mahfuz Omar.
(nama-nama di atas saya tidak pasti tepat atau tidak, sekadar pendapat saya kerana saya tidak begitu mendalam dalam politik)
6. sebenarnya, MM ini sepatutnya bekerja hanya untuk ketua dan visi ketuanya sahaja, tanpa ada apa-apa niat/muslihat peribadi. Mereka tidak perlukan publisiti peribadi kecuali hanya untuk ketua sahaja. Mereka tak perlukan poket mereka berkembang besaq dari hari ke hari.
7. each Mastermind needs to be supported by a group of Implementor to execute the layout plan. If not, the plan will fail miserably. (Tuan Haji Mat Sabu is a good example of PAS successful Implementor) .
