1. Well, unlike Hillary, he IS spending plenty of time in Wisconsin this week...
...I imagine he'll fly to TX when he's got the vote locked up.

2. If I were him, Id use the same strategy he did with the Potomac Primaries
Spend the day in Wisconsin and either go to a big arena in either TX or OH, and give your election night speech there.

Though personally Id like to see him return to the Kohl Center again!

4. Have his election night speech at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland.

5. Nah, have it at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus
Do the same thing as Obama did. Play to his base, the College crowd at Ohio State.

6. As much as I love playing the college crowd, it's time he moves beyond the base.
Cleveland is a big blue collar city and packing the arena would send a message that maybe those voters are ready to cross over and vote for Obama.

Plus, there's Cleveland State, too. ;)

7. I think Wisconsin will be another Strong Victory. Playing to the base works for a victory speech
Meaning it would be a big raucus crowd like the Kohl Center was. He'll play the other arena's, but for this event, play to the base.

8. I think he could get that in Cleveland as well. But Columbus, too, is blue collar.
It's a mix, though.

I think he'll do really well in Wisconsin, as well.

3. Yes, imagine that! Obama knows Wisconsin DOES count!
Just like the other 49 states, who'd a thunk a 50 state strategy might work politically AND be the right thing to do. He'll be in Texas soon enough, rest assured....
