Obama Campaign: We'll have Staff in all 50 States

[ottermax]

Spending money in all 50 states is the definition of absurd. It is a waste of money and it will continue to be a waste of money. I admire the attempts of Obama's campaign to do better in traditionally Republican states, but it is pie in the sky wishful thinking that putting staffers in all 50 states will do anything more than putting staffers in 10 select swing states couldn't do.

Wishful, idealistic thinking is usually absurd. But so was Einstein.

If Obama thinks he will capture states like Wyoming, Kansas, Montana etc., he is truly absurd.  If he had any brains at all, he would focus his money on the swing states.

It's far easier to change small states instead of large swing states. Less spending required, but the small states still matter. And they tend to be more open minded.

Please give me a compelling reason why Obama will capture Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma's electoral votes using this strategy - then I'll listen.

He's showing that every state matters. He's not a cynic.
