Bismarck, N.D. (AP) Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign is pulling its staffers out of North Dakota.

Obama has been making a statewide effort to be the first Democratic presidential candidate in 44 years to carry the state.

Obama spokeswoman Amy Brundage says the campaign is sending its staffers from North Dakota to other battleground states.

A good sign that the “50-state strategy” is going down in flames and the race is tightening elsewhere.

He believes he should move his resources to two of the other 57 states....East and West Dakota.

Obama supporter Jim Maxson of Minot says the Obama staffers have been working since July on identifying sympathetic North Dakota voters

I'd like to know just how many they managed to identify...

Apparently there weren’t enough like-minded elitists in Fargo.

I would count that as a political “blink” on the 50-State strategy.

Maybe he can try South Dakota and get George McGovern to appear with him there... Oh wait, maybe that’s not such a great idea. BHO wouldn’t want the stench of landslidis loseritus to penetrate his campaign of “hope and change”.

Add this to his retreat from Georgia and we are starting to see a trend. I believe you will see him exit VA, NC and NV before the end of October. He’ll battle in OH and CO til the end but he will have to divert resources to PA, MI, MN and WI to the point that he is going to lose some place else not currently anticipated (if not in one or more of those blue states).

Also consider that Zero’s fundraising strategy is backfiring and he may not have enough bucks to stay competitive on television. He is committed to his ground game which will be very expensive so he may have to cede the advertising advantage to the pubbies. If Zero does not raise $100 million in September, he is in huge trouble. I hope he spends all of his time fundraising instead of studying all the issues that McCain already knows from spending years in the Senate (it will really show in the debates).

MO was in Charlotte and Greensboro this past week. Supposedly he's opened up a couple of new offices in the state also, out in the country. That won't do him any good, but he'll get votes in Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro and Ashville for the university crowd and the imports. I'd be pleased to see him exit NC. I think he's getting "traffic" simply on the guilt thing in a lot of quarters.

I’m waiting for the day he pulls his staff from New Pennsylvania. Then we’ll know it’s really over for Emperor Zero.

Prolly so they can ship them to Ohio.
