Where should Obama campaign most for Hillary?


I'm thinking Iowa... maybe Colorado and some areas in North Carolina.
I'm not sure about Ohio or Florida, and I don't think Virginia is to be worried about.

Iowa, Nevada and any other state where Obama won by a bigger margin than Hilary's current lead.

Obama: Iowa, North Carolina, Nevada, maybe Georgia
Biden: Ohio, Pennsylvania
Sanders: Iowa, New Hampshire, Colorado, Utah (just hold a rally in progressive SLC)
Warren: New Hampshire
Bill: Florida, Nevada, Pennsylvania, maybe Missouri
Kaine: North Carolina, Utah, Iowa, Florida
Castro (lol): Florida, Arizona, Nevada

Lol, Sanders ain't gonna lift a finger for Hillary.  He's barely even bothering with anti-Trump tweets anymore.

Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and maybe Georgia, if Clinton decides to really invest there.

North Carolina and Georgia most definitely, with Tim Kaine focusing on Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and -maybe- Texas.  Joe Biden can be best used in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the rest of the Midwestern Rust Belt.  

I don't think we need to worry about Virginia this election cycle....

That doesn't seem fair to say. It's only August. I was under the impression Sanders was only going to start hitting the trail mid-late September and go through election day.

If Sanders does indeed do nothing, then that would mean he would have been lying to everyone all this time, and that doesn't seem like something he would do. He certainly did more than he had to at the convention.

I was under the impression he was going to start after the convention.  Certainly I would think he's most valuable then, before people's bitterness sets in and they decide not to vote or whatever.  On second thought though, it's probably better to keep him away for a while to create a buffer from the primary instead of constantly reminding people of it with his presence.  Make it just Hillary and Trump for a while.

Nope - the expectation was that he wouldn't kick off until the fall.

I'm probably going to be a little more detailed with the NC assignments considering I'm from there. The cities mentioned in the other states are more suggestive. For instance, I list PA's cities here, but also think Biden shouldn't neglect the more rural areas of the state.

Obama: Charlotte, Raleigh, & Greensboro, NC; Atlanta, GA; Columbia, SC
Biden: Cleveland, Columbus, & Cincinnati, OH; Pittsburgh & Philadelphia, PA; Des Moines, IA
Kaine: Concord & Chapel Hill, NC; Miami, FL; Las Vegas, NV; Phoenix & Tempe, AZ; Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, & El Paso, TX
(Bill) Clinton: Atlanta, GA; St. Louis, MO; Las Vegas, NV; Salt Lake City, UT
