— Barack Obama's campaign manager is urging voters to be patient with the balloting process, saying participation in the process is vital if people want change in America.
David Plouffe ( PLUFF) went on morning network news shows Tuesday to voice confidence in Obama's chances to win the presidency over John McCain. He told interviewers that the Obama campaign does not have to rely on any one state to get to the 270 electoral votes necessary for victory.
Plouffe told NBC's "Today" show that "our chief strategy in the general election was to put enough states in play to have a lot of different avenues to win the election."
