The New York Times reports in an article today that the Presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama's withdrawal of television advertising in Georgia prior to the two conventions will become permanent.  Obama is unveiling a new strategy for the General Election that aims to spend television money and other resources largely on the traditional battleground states from 2000 and 2004.

In addition to Colorado, Iowa, New Mexica, Nevada and Ohio, states that Sen. John Kerry targeted but lost in 2004, Obama plans to target two states that haven't been won by a Democrat since 1964: Indiana which borders Obama's home state of Illinois and Virginia, which has elected two Democratic governors this century and is on the path to completing a Democratic sweep of its US Senate seats due to shifting voter allegiances and population trends concentrated in its Washington D.C. suburbs.
