Ye think he has no luxury? Sure he does, if he has the money and volunteers to do it with.

In the era of the billion dollar campaign, if you toss large fractions of that money at a few states you'll over saturate and pull a Meg Whitman with spending tons of cash for no change in the outcome (good or bad). But if you have the resources to nearly hit saturation points in most states then you're more likely to have at least a few good outcomes, even if the rest of the swing states flop. And in a close election, that might be all you need.

It kind of comes back to the 50 state strategy the dems used after 2004 because 2004 sucked. If you have the resources, you send people into all 50 states and you'll start winning where folks didn't expect you to.

That's how Obama got Indiana and NE-2 last time.

A candidate that honestly believes they have a winning message will not be hurt by brining it to more people. So yeah, Georgia should be on the target list.
