Politics as chess

Obama knows he will raise more funds than McCain, and he's allowed to spend much more -- multiples more.

Article.

So Obama's strategy is not to destroy McCain in liberal states, or try to beat him in states Obama cannot win, but to drain McCain's bank account through an "arms race" of TV-ad spending in states that McCain has to win and should win, but could possibly lose.

Awesome. And yet, totally unrelated to democracy!
