Obama targets 'Republican' states (BBC)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7438930.stm

Barack Obama is turning his attention to winning over traditionally Republican-voting US states in his campaign to be the next US president.

Days after gaining enough delegates to win the Democratic Party nomination, Mr Obama is holding rallies in Virginia - last won by a Democrat nominee in 1964.

His Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is expected to officially withdraw from the race on Saturday and back Mr Obama.

Mr Obama has already announced a team to help select his running mate.

1. The best defense is a good offense. Repub's are low on cash and

already know they are in big trouble in their strong holds with the latest elections. Taking the fight to them is AWESOME and will pay off!

2. Crush them but spend the finances wisely.

Obama will need to shore up his base in the states that should go our way and then make decisions on the states he has a chance or can threaten the repugs.

I hope he includes Indiana but I wouldn't hold my breath. If he does go into Indiana that hopefully will help our Democratic candidates for Congress and especially Jill Long running for Governor.
