The WSJ has some data on the Obama ground game.

From inside a WSJ piece on campaign finances.
The other likely reason for the Obama campaign's burgeoning expenses is the number of field offices it has opened. The campaign reports it has 131 such offices in five potential battleground states, compared to 13 reported by the McCain campaign. In Florida, for example, the Obama campaign lists 32 local offices, compared to three for Sen. McCain. In Missouri, the ratio is 29 to 1, while in New Mexico it stands at 23 to 1.


(The McCain campaign has only one office in Missouri, New Mexico?)

  • Also, apparently none in Indiana. But, oddly, several in Minnesota.

  • McCain you mean?

    They're counting on Indiana as a given. They figure if they don't win Indiana, they don't win the election overall.

    So maybe they're not putting resources there?

    Minnesota is a reach, but one of their fallbacks vs. Colorado, Nevada, etc.
