North Dakota Democrats Change Their Tune On Closed Obama Event In Fargo
Earlier today I blasted North Dakota Democrats for being a bit hypocritical about closed political events for Presidential candidates. The Democrats criticized both President Bush in 2005 and then-Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani earlier this year for holding closed events in North Dakota. Then Obama comes along and announces a closed event of his own.
Except, now according to an updated Fargo Forum article Obama’s event is “free and open to the public.” As long as you have a ticket, that is (I wonder if they executed a wording change because of my post earlier today?).
So it’s still closed, really. The Democrats just changed the wording of their press release around a bit. And, naturally, North Dakota’s reporters eat it right up.
Oh well. I’ll bet North Dakota Democrats are just glad Obama actually knows which state they’re in again.
