Successful Tactics of Obama's Campaign

The overarching theme of the Obama-Biden campaign in 2008 was America's need for change. They played to the fact that there was a need for new ideas and a fresh administration after the wildly unpopular Bush administration. The theme was simple, and inclusive and enticed Americans across party lines. Obama's call for change in public policy including health care and economic reform garnered much support during the period that American's were still feeling the effects of the recession. Another way that Obama gained support was by raising his own campaign funds and rejecting public funds. This made him appear more intend with the American people, it gave him a grassroots feel that Americans found refreshing.
