August 20, 2008 Does Obama need a new battle plan? Play video

(NECN: Jim Braude) - Here's the plan. First, announce a V.P. Next, barnstorm the battleground states. Then, fly to Denver salute Ted Kennedy. Get the Clintons on board, rough up John McCain, and finally, deliver the speech of a lifetime to a crowd of 70,000. Hopefully, not in the rain.

Jim is joined by two Massachusetts state Representatives who were very early endorses of Barack Obama for President. Representative Linda Forry is from Dorchester, and Representative David Linsky is from Natick.
