The Obama campaign has promised to contest all 50 states. Does that mean he plans to visit all 50? No, Obama has wisely chosen to say “contest” not “visit.” That is because he has learned an important lesson from the last President to try a 50-state campaign — Richard Nixon.
In 1960, Richard Nixon made even a better promise.
Nixon promised to visit all 50 states. He made that vow during his acceptance speech at the Republican Convention.
