How’s That 50 State Strategy Going? Obama Pulls Staff Out Of North Dakota
Just a little over two weeks ago the Obama campaign announced opening five new campaign offices in North Dakota. Today the news is that the Obama campaign is pulling all of its staff out of the state.
BISMARCK, N.D. - Barack Obama, who has deployed more than 50 staffers in North Dakota in an attempt to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state since 1964, is pulling out.
An Obama spokeswoman, Amy Brundage, confirmed Sunday that the campaign’s North Dakota staffers were being sent to Minnesota and Wisconsin, where recent polls have shown a tight race between Obama and Republican John McCain.
If Obama’s fund raising were as prolific as the left claims The One wouldn’t need to be consolidating resources like this. It’s a sign of trouble for the Obama campaign, make no doubt about it.
Remember when all the liberals were all atwitter at the idea of North Dakota being a reliable red state that’s “in play” this year? If you listen closely, you can almost here them sighing into their venti soy-milk lattes right now.
