Obama Mccain West

Obama is spending more in New Mexico on the Latino vote than both parties spent total for Latino outreach in '04. But the number one reason he's winning over Latinos here is the fact that he showed up.

Alaska is one of the seven red states where Obama is on the air and organizing but McCain is not. The effort seems to be paying initial dividends.

Obama's army goes deep behind enemy lines in the West. He and Dean are determined to compete in red states as a matter of strategy, forcing McCain to spend money and resources on his own turf.
