Obama Campaign Manager: Florida/Ohio Aren't Necessary! WHAT???

According to CNN.com, Plouffe said that contrary to popular belief, victory in Ohio and Florida isn't necessary to reach 270 but that they would "fight like heck" for the pair.

He pointed to two previously solid Republican states - North Carolina and Virginia - as examples of states they think can be turned blue, saying they plan to put some of their best staff there and if they win either on top of the Kerry states and Iowa, it's "game, set, match."

As a North Carolinian, I applaud Plouffe's inclusion of NC in his analysis and battleground, but is he seriously suggesting that we should forget about Florida and/or Ohio?
