Obama Gives Up on North Dakota

The LA Times: [1]

Exactly 44 years after Lyndon B. Johnson became the last Democrat to capture the state of North Dakota in a presidential election, it looks like Barack Obama won’t be the next.

The Associated Press reported this evening and an Obama spokeswoman confirmed that the Chicago-based campaign is pulling its 50-some staffers out of the heavily Republican state full of embittered small towns and shipping the workers east to Minnesota and Wisconsin, where the Democrat’s prospects seem brighter and closer.

We keep seeing indications of Camp Obama giving up on various states. This is one more pin in the balloon.

And don’t be telling me how this is because McCain is spending massive money up there. McCain doesn’t have anyone up there. No people, no offices. And he’s winning there, going away.
