According to NBC's First Read, Hillary Clinton's campaign is not going to make the mistake of ignoring the small states late in the fight:
In addition to focusing on the large states -- something Cecil admitted had been their focus -- they are "opening offices" and "hiring staff" in Wyoming, Montana and even Puerto Rico to try to get every delegate possible in "congressional districts where we can be successful."
Clinton's campaign had hired a number of organizers who worked the state for Jon Tester. Obama also hired quite a few.
It'll be good to see staffed campaigns operating out here for these two. It could make the race a whole lot more interesting.
Commenters at MyDD are asking about the wisdom of maintaining staff in states like Wyoming. Here's a guess: those offices wouldn't be maintained for a general. Meanwhile, Mark Penn is using primary results to question whether Barack Obama would win California in the general. Here's a guess: he would.
In both cases, conflating primary strategies with general strategies is just a bad idea.
