Kansas may play a significant role in Barack Obama’s Feb. 5 primary strategy, according to an article in the Washington Post. Obama’s campaign believes that the six smaller state caucuses that day favor his grassroots organizing and ability to bring in independents and new voters. Minnesota, Colorado and Kansas are the “big three,†according to the piece.
The article reported that Obama’s team is actively seeking endorsements in those states and “may be close to securing the nod of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, sources close to the campaign said.†Sebelius’ spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said Wednesday that there would be no endorsement of anyone until after Sebelius gives the Democratic response to President Bush’s State of the Union address on Monday — timing that was an “important requirement of the invitation,†Corcoran said.
