I spent an hour with him on Tuesday. I saw him a few days earli= er at David Brock's book party and had heard he was cranky so asked if I co= uld come see him. He wasn't so much cranky as trying to figure out where, i= f anywhere, he fits in the campaign. He has a super close relationship with= Obama. Obama asks his advice on all sorts of economic matters. He's not ex= pecting that, but hoping that he could have some direct relationship with y= ou and that the campaign would seek his views on economic issues. He raises= money, but hopes that he isn't just connected to the campaign only as a fu= ndraiser and only through Dennis.

He has told Biden he is wit= h you, but Biden has pushed him to reconsider if he gets in or at least sta= y open to that possibility.

Letting him k= now you are interested in his substantive views and want a channel (maybe a= n occasional call or email) to get them directly would lock him down, I thi= nk. All these guys are kind of pains in the ass in their own ways, but I fi= nd Robert pretty nice, pretty easy, and pretty smart. Hope that's helpful.
