Obama's Strategy

Following are excerpts from Senior Washington Editor Ron Elving an NPR story from the program Day to Day:

'..on the strategy that Barak Obama has been pursuing. Running really hard and concentrating his resources in caucus states which tend to be states in the heartland, states with somewhat smaller Democratic population. States in which Democrats don't carry in Presidential elections.

But places where by, by winning he accomplishes several things: Big margin where he gets disproportionate share of the delegates. He gets a chance to influence a lot of super delegates and he gets to say hey look I won 20 some states and she has not won nearly that many.

At it lastly gives him this prefect way to say Only black people voting for me in Louisiana and South Carolina? Well there are not that many people in Nebraska and Idaho.'
