I don't follow what that has to do with anything..Why would he need to go visit every state? He's a democrat. It makes sense he would not go much to the mid-west since they are usually very republican. Why would he go there? To meet whom? Why?

If you're talking about the race for the white house, all politicians will visit the states that make a difference in their count, that can be swayed to their side. Name me one politician that has visited all the states and i'll buy you a beer.

I hear you, but I still expect more. Just because you can't win doesn't mean you shouldn't try. "Real Americans" are still americans, canidates should go if for no other reason than to hear the plight of those they wish to serve. He professed change but only took his message to the pliable masses. I know it's business as usual, I know it's the status quo, but I also know that when you assume someone else's opinion you can't help but let your own personal biases interfer.
