Obama aiming for Feb. 5?

A Washington Post article claims the Obama campaign may be looking for victory on Feb. 5 as much as winning the early states.

Obama has 19 offices in different early states, much less than his total in Iowa alone, but again much more than total five offices of her leading opponent Hillary Clinton. This can be taken to indicate that the Obama camp believes things may not be over after polls are done in the four early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.

On Feb. 5, known as "Super Duper Tuesday" or "Tsunami Tuesday" some 20 states will hold primary elections.

Obama is generally less well-known in these states as compared to Clinton. It may be that Obama's belief in grassroots campaigning is driving the investment in Super Duper Tuesday states. It's difficult to start up a person-to-person campaign in a short span of time, as compared to simply launching a television ad blitz.

By opening offices in these states, Obama may be showing his community organizing background and his experience in the importance of making personal contact.
