Rumor Patrol: Plouffe For Senate?

Rumor: David Plouffe, Barack Obama's campaign manager, plans a run for Senate in his native state of Delaware?

Analysis: Be very skeptical. That said, some of his friends are throwing the idea around, but they're doing it without his knowledge or approval.

They feel he's gotten less credit than he deserves -- and Plouffe isn't one to ask for credit.

Plouffe did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment; he told Chris Cillizza he hadn't had a single conversation about this with anyone.
