    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on 2008 U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's strategy for winning the needed 270 electoral vote majority. The article notes that the past two elections between Democrats and Republicans have been so close that Democrats focused on winning a few battleground states. This year, Republicans face more of a challenge and Obama is targeting additional states. The article notes that time spent on non-crucial states diverts resources from must-win states.
