A lot has been written recently about Obama's apparent focus of his speeches in states that were/might be swing states.
Politico has a story:
"Obama has been making down payments on his political future since the moment he got elected – aligning Cabinet picks, political staffers and his nascent Organizing for America outreach effort to lay down a foundation for building support for his ambitious agenda and the campaigns to come in 2010 and 2012."
Huffington Post has this doozy about his NCAA tournament picks.
As well as Politicalwire.
Well, does this mean its true. No. I have two perspectives. The first is good for him. Getting out of DC was a campaign promise and so what if he tends to pick states that are toss ups. Does Obama ONLY go to these states? Of course not. He was just here in lala land with Arnie. They were having the time of their lives.
The second is I really hope he doesn't spend too much time in these states where the talking point might stick. There is something distracting and distasteful to be continuously campaigning. He got in on the change/outsider platform. He doesn't want to lose the persona that he's not "one of them." While he will lose a little of that image b/c he's president, he can't sacrifice too much of it. People are fed up with DC and he needs to keep the outsider image as long as possible.
