Barack Obama has released his blueprint for North Carolina.
In a 19-page presentation, the Obama campaign says that it considers the state a "key battleground" among the 18 states where it is advertising on TV.
It also lists several lines of attack against John McCain: Trade policies, high gas prices and a farm bill.
Free Trade: Amplifying a free-trade critique from the primary, the presentation argues that "Bush-McCain" trade policies have cost North Carolina jobs.
Gas Prices: The presentation echoes recent Democratic attacks that blame high gas prices on tax breaks for oil companies and says Obama would give an "Emergency Energy Rebate" of up to $1,000.
Farm Bill: The presentation says that Obama supported a farm bill that would give "support and assistance" to North Carolina farmers, while McCain "vehemently opposed" it.
The presentation also gives some impressive numbers on its ground game: 3,066 people attending 93 county organizational meetings, 5,860 volunteers and 36,747 North Carolinian supporters on Obama's social networking site.
