Despite History, Obama Camp Tries To Make Springfield A Battleground

WATCH THE KY3 NEWS @ 10 REPORT BELOW

Is the reliably Republican Ozarks becoming battleground territory in the Race for the White House? Republicans scoff at the notion, but if Barack Obama's campaign doesn't make up some Democratic ground this election cycle, it won't be because of lack of effort. They are out-manning, out-organizing and out-spending Team McCain, who is mostly relying on the local party regulars to do the groundwork. But Obama still has political and cultural obstacles to overcome, as well as history.

PLUS: THE BIDEN VISIT

As KY3 first reported on Monday, Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden will campaign in Springfield Friday morning at Jordan Valley Park.

***
