Obama strategist David Plouffe gloats over GOP infighting, encourages Dems to ‘grab the popcorn’

David Plouffe, former campaign manager and political adviser for President Obama, weighed in on recent Republican Party rifts with a gleeful, early morning Thursday tweet: “Grab the popcorn,” he wrote.

“Pop a beer, sit back and enjoy this goat rodeo,” Mr. Plouffe tweeted, according to a Politico blog entry.

Mr. Plouffe was referring to GOP infighting that pitted Republican strategist Karl Rove against conservative colleagues who see his newly created Conservative Victory Project as a direct attack on the tea party.

Mr. Rove denied the group — which touts of mission of rebuilding the Republican Party — is aimed at tossing tea party candidates. But his denials don’t sit well with everyone.

In a separate Politico report, Matt Kibbe, president of the tea party-backed group, FreedomWorks, said of Mr. Rove’s new organization: “This is a little bit like gang warfare right now.”
