...line with Obama's "no drama" edict, Nugen is one of the most even keeled political operatives you'll ever meet. He's not a yeller and can sometimes seem mellow to the point where people think he's not paying attention. "Most people throw very, very sharp elbows to get a seat at the table and that's not Matt's style," says Brad Queisser, who met Nugen working at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 1998 and is now a vice president at mCapitol Management.

...start at the beginning. My colleague, Karen Tumulty, and I were informed last weekend by Barack Obama's camp that they had approved our request to interview the candidate for TIME. We were to meet him in Albuquerque, N.M., on Monday afternoon. My flight from Kansas City, via DFW, landed on time Monday morning after three hours of the usual misery. Nothing major: my seat, inches from the fuselage-mounted engine, knocked a couple hundred hertz off my hearing range, and the guy in front of me had reclined his seat so far back I could count his follicles...
