DENVER - Barack Obama's campaign manager said today that the campaign will soon return to the airwaves in North Carolina and other battleground states.
David Plouffe told reporters the campaign had pulled ads in most battleground states during convention week, reports Jim Morrill.
"We weren't going to be anywhere this week," Plouffe said. "We'll be back very very soon in North Carolina on the air."
The Obama campaign has spent about $2 million so far in the state, mostly on TV advertising.
Plouffe called North Carolina "a central battleground." He said with its relatively large African American population and large numbers of voting age young people, the state is one of several Southern targets, including Virginia, Georgia and Florida.
Each of those states went for Republican George Bush in 2004.

Re: Obama to resume ads in N.C. soon
It's not that NO African-Americans will vote for McCain, but 98% of them will not. That isn't the race card, it's a voter registration/past performance FACT.
Nice try.
