Obama's Math Strategy more similar news »
Sen. Barack Obama's revised presidential campaign strategy "is, essentially, a mathematical calculation," the AP reports.
"If Clinton wins a few more delegates than he does in Pennsylvania, Obama figures, he can offset them in the nine states and territories scheduled to vote later. His current lead of roughly 100 delegates would stay about the same, the thinking goes. That would position him to tell the all-important superdelegates this summer there is no justification for them to tip the nomination to Clinton."
With six weeks until the Pennsylvania primary, Obama "has time to conduct such saturation campaigning. Clinton must win Pennsylvania to make her case to superdelegates. Rather than go for the knockout punch, however, the Obama campaign is playing down expectations, emphasizing the need to keep campaigning in other states, and portraying Pennsylvania as clearly favorable to Clinton."

Clinton's Time Strategy more similar news »
"The Clinton campaign plans to use the coming six-week gap in primary voting to aggressively push its case that Sen. Barack Obama lacks the necessary experience to be president as the superdelegates loom by far as the most important voters in the race," ABC News reports.
The strategy of defining Obama "while the delegate count stays essentially frozen reflects a belief by Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign advisers -- after withstanding perhaps the roughest month of Clinton's presidential campaign -- that the New York senator now has a powerful ally on her side: time."
The six weeks until Pennsylvania's primary on April 22 "gives Clinton a chance to battle Obama without time pressures that magnify every moment on the trail, allowing her to make a deliberate and methodical case in favor of her candidacy -- and against Obama's... Clinton's campaign has proved more adept at seizing control of the race when no one is voting."

Spitzer's Troubles May Hurt Clinton more similar news »
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s "apparent involvement with a prostitution ring has not only distracted attention from Sen. Hillary Clinton’s efforts to take down the front-runner, Sen. Barack Obama, it has also brought back unhelpful memories of her own husband's dalliances in office," the Washington Post reports.
"There on cable television again were pictures of Bill Clinton hugging Monica S. Lewinsky. And the image of Spitzer's wife standing painfully by his side while he acknowledged unspecified wrongdoing could not help but remind some of Hillary Clinton's own stand-by-her-man moment."
Furthermore, the Wall Street Journal reports that Clinton would lose Spitzer as superdelegate if he resigns as expected -- and the New York slot would not be replaced.
