Top billing has been given to states that turned from red to blue in the fall. So far this year, Mr. Obama has made his way around to Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Virginia and Colorado, states that usually voted Republican in presidential elections but that went Democratic in November. President Obama toured a factory that makes wind turbines, listened to the financial worries of voters at town-hall-style meetings and stood atop a dusty road construction site.
The president deviated from his pattern for the first time on Wednesday, appearing in Arizona to present his plan to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Even though Arizona voted for John McCain, Democrats are considering the state to be a ripe target to bring into their column the next time around.
