Obama Launching Tour Of Purple States Next Week
By Greg Sargent - May 22, 2008, 6:15PM

In a sign that Obama is shifting more aggressively into general election mode, the Illinois Senator will undertake a tour of three purple states -- New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado -- on the first three days of next week, I've learned from a senior Obama campaign aide.

Obama will visit the Las Cruces area on Monday, the Las Vegas area on Tuesday, and and the Denver area on Wednesday, the Obama aide confirms.

The tour will draw attention to three states that Camp Obama has argued he can run well in this fall -- an assertion that's key to deflecting Hillary's case to super-delegates that she's more electable in a general election.

More to the point, it will continue to broadcast the signal -- as have his visits to other general election states -- that the Obama camp views the primary as effectively over and that his showdown with McCain has begun in earnest.

I wonder if Hillary will birddog Obama through NM, NV and CO :D

2. She's still a candidate, right?

Who cares if she does or not? She knows the score.

Are you posting that because you're worried? If so, why? :shrug:

Seems silly to me.

3. I'm glad he's just steadily moving forward; no big whoopla or

"I'm the nominee" announcements - just matter of fact, let's focus on the real opponent.

4. I think she's already planned to...

...spend that week down in Puerto Rico, playing her Tito Puente albums, telling the crowd with a Spanish accent about her young days working the farm with Juan Bobo.

6. This is a good idea (Obama's I mean). It will be good for the general election.

I don't think it's designed to broadcast that the primary is over, since that debate has basically ended now, except on this board.
