Obama Writes Off Ohio While Stroking Audience In Columbus

While Barry BooHoo Bambi Hussein The Fear Word Obama, former 20 year parishoner at Trinity Church under Jeremiah Wright, was stroking suckers donors in Columbus Ohio, his campaign manager was writing off Ohio and talking about how it was not as important and electoral mappage. The AP has the story, but one can certainly question its facts, as it was written by Nedra Pickler, the same woman who wrote an AP story erroneously attributing the Michelle Obama Whitey Video to Rush Limbaugh and Right wing bloggers:
Barack Obama's campaign envisions a path to the presidency that could include Virginia, Georgia and several Rocky Mountain states, but not necessarily the pair of battlegrounds that decided the last two elections _ Florida and Ohio.

In a private pitch late last week to donors and former supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe outlined several alternatives to reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House that runs counter to the conventional wisdom of recent elections.

At a fundraiser held at a Washington brewery Friday, Plouffe told a largely young crowd that the electoral map would be fundamentally different from the one in 2004. Wins in Ohio and Florida would guarantee Obama the presidency if he holds onto the states won by Democrat John Kerry, Plouffe said, but those two battlegrounds aren't required for victory.
