Just passing on scuttlebutt, but I’m increasingly hearing that Obama may be pulling out of WI. Apparently he has already scaled back OH. Take it FWIW.

Interesting news if true. I never understood why WI wouldn't be very competitive again, it only went Democrat the last two times by a few thousand votes. But for Obama to withdraw from Wisconsin would be, I would think, almost tantamount to conceding. If he loses Wisconsin, where's he going to make that up? Many of the other states he's fighting for are more Republican than Wisconsin.

Thanks, I'll discuss with our crew in our meeting about this. We know he pulled most of his staff and $$$ out of Michigan over this past week, so it wouldn't be too surprising.
Obama decided to try to "put the election away" by spending all that money he raised in a wide swatch of battleground states over the past 6 to 8 weeks. The full extent of his efforts is only now being reported in the media.
But even he cannot keep up that pace of advertising on TV, on video games, on Internet banners, on radio, etc... in ALL the places he was up with heavy rotation of ads.
So, it is conceivable if he thinks Wisconsin is "safe" then he might indeed put most of his money and staff from the state into another state. (Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, etc...)

I am trying to find a list of all the
campaign stops that Obama made in the last two weeks.
I have read several articles on why it is significant to see where Obama has stopped. The logic is that he would not visit some of these states unless his lead was shaky.
It seems an itinerary does not exist. Anybody know where I can find one?
