With Surge in Momentum, Obama Makes His Case

The subject of this posting is what I read on the NewYorkTimes this morning as an article title.
I didn't know what 'Obama Makes His Case' means and tried search online dictionary but couldn't
find the answer. I also would like to know some way to find answer for this kind of English Question since
regular dictionary doesn't help. I looked for usage of 'case' but didn't get any helpful info.

Thank you for your help,
