"Barack Obama has pulled his TV ads from seven states that voted Republican in 2004, including the perennial swing state of Florida and two others -- North Carolina and Virginia -- he had been agressively targeting as part of his 50-state strategy.
The move could suggest that Obama is returning to a more traditional game plan of focusing on key battleground states to reach the 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency.
Obama's campaign told Fox News Network, which first reported the shift, that it is a temporary suspension during the Democratic convention. The other states are Alaska, Georgia, Montana, and North Dakota.
But Republican rival John McCain's camp saw more significance.
Sarah Simmons, McCain's strategy director, cited advertising spending and polling data that she said shows that in the states where Obama has spent time and bought ads, his poll numbers dropped.
In a memo, she asks: "Does this represent an overall shift in strategy; do they have to find a new path to 270 electoral votes? Does this represent a sign of things to come in other states? Is the Obama campaign planning to close down offices in states they have initially targeted?"" courtesy of Boston.com
Fuck this shit, I miss Elizabeth Kucinich. Now there's a dame.

I'm thinking Tomlinson is still the overall #1, and then Adrian Peterson. I wouldn't blame anyone for taking Peterson first, though.

The campaign begins Monday. Biden is the V.P. pick. Hang on tight. Someone with heavy duty policy experience is about to clean McCain's clock.
Sarah Simmons, McCain's strategy director...
How many houses does she own?
Posted by phidipides at August 22, 2008 10:13 PMCorrect, peter.
Obama has pulled all ads in those red states he claimed he could win in the primary.
Looks like he agrees that he can't win in Georgia, especially since McCain is ahead by 25 points.
What took him so long to realize the truth?
