Obama Shifts Strategy

The Los Angeles Times reports Sen. Barack Obama "hasn't managed after months of political combat to force" Sen. Hillary Clinton "out of the presidential race, so he's about to try another approach: ignoring her."

"Confident that he has built a near-impregnable lead, his campaign aides said Wednesday that Obama would begin shifting his focus toward the general election."

"Obama still plans to campaign in states that remain on the primary calendar -- he is to appear in Oregon over the weekend -- but he may also start showing up in states that are considered important in the November contest: Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. (All three have held their Democratic primaries.)"

Meanwhile, the New York Daily News notes the Obama campaign "has begun talks" with Clinton administration "loyalists" in an attempt to "recruit field organizers, finance officials and press officers."
