The Democratic presidential ticket has made more visits to battleground states than their Republican counterparts, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. The presidential candidates, their wives and runningmates have made 150 total visits since the nominating conventions -- 95 by U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), his wife Michelle Obama and U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.); and 55 by U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), his wife Cindy McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska).
