DES MOINES, Iowa – Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe endorsed Hillary Clinton Saturday, just ahead of a key Democratic Party event here, where Obama’s campaign first showed major signs of breaking past the thought-to-be inevitable Clinton.

“Now, to be honest, during the most intense days of the 2008 primary, I would never have imagined writing this piece. And I doubt Team Clinton felt any differently about me,” Plouffe wrote in a post on Medium.
It’s a major nod of support from the old Obama high command, especially as some — notably former top strategist David Axelrod — continue to hold out support and occasionally take shots at the Democratic presidential front-runner.
