Line 455:
Line 455: − − Also, with the choice of a first-term governor with virtually no foreign policy experience as McCain's V.P. pick, attention will be paid to whether [[Alaska]] [[Governor]] [[Sarah Palin]] will be ready to step in as president should something happen to McCain. Vice Presidential nominee [[Senator]] [[Joe Biden]] should match up strongly in the [[Vice President]] debate, with his extensive foreign policy experience serving on the [[Senate]] Foreign Relations Committee.

, 19:57, September 2, 2008→Democratic Strategy: -- See Talk
As an extension of the DNC's strategy in the 2006 elections, led by [[Howard Dean]], Barack Obama has been working towards a "50-state strategy." The campaign is working to place campaign offices throughout the country with a focus on voter registration. The increase in the rolls of Democratic voters from the primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Obama played out well for the Democrats and puts pressure on Senator McCain even in typically red states, and more specifically, "Lean Republican" states, to use the Cook Political Report's term. In addition, with a fundraising advantage, Obama is airing ads in those tight states forcing McCain to make decisions about whether to use funds to match ads and campaign efforts in those states or rely on historical results that those states will support him and focus funds in traditional toss-up states instead.
