Despite all the elections that have taken place throughout the years, I never really took the time to really think about people classifying certain states as “battleground states.”  It just so happens that I started noticing these little things when I became old enough to vote.  The more you think about it, the more it makes sense for these states to be classified as a battleground.  More often than not, many states are already pretty decided as to which parties they’ll belong to, but for some, its less clear.  Assuming that every party gets each state that they should get, one’s hopes for president is put in the hands of these select states.  Of course, this is the case for when both parties have already decided on their candidate.  In this case, these individuals are vying for the democratic bid in the coming presidential election.

You can not really classify a battle as truly being a battle if it were not a hard fought one.  Just as how both candidates are looking to lock up what would be a huge step in the right direction for them,  a battle between two parties is fought to ensure that their side gets what they desire.  A campaign is no different than a battle.  No matter how high the stakes,  a county can be just as much as a “battleground” as any state.
