David Plouffe, campaign manager of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, issued a campaign fundraising video today that includes an insulting reference to Michigan that shows a lack of concern for the voters in that key swing state.
Plouffe e-mailed the You Tube video to Obama supporters and the media to explain to them why the campaign needs a lot more money from them. He used a map of the United States to highlight the seventeen swing states the Obama campaign is targeting, but the main point was to inform the supporters the campaign was budgeting a whopping $39 million for Florida alone.
Plouffe used the map many times during the video presentation. Part of his job is to know the targeted swing states down to the city, town, county and precint level.
Yet his map had a glaring error on it that any fifth grader would catch. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan was not colored in as part of the swing state of Michigan. It was left blank like it was another state, perhaps one of Obama's mythical 57 states.

Bump for later
Will 100% in UP counter the likely 130% in Detroit?
Can’t see obamma lamma ding dong doing too well in the upper no matter what his traveling side show portends. The socialist magic negro has problems all over in this racist country.
If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.
Me too. I’d move to the UP in a heartbeat if I could afford it. I made five trips to the UP this summer driving busloads of kids to a Bible camp south of Marquette. My brother and I also rode bicycles along US-2 for about 150 miles last month.
What a blast!
When I was there Capriola’s saddle shop was the highlight of Elko, that and the bar in the hotel next door. Everyone I saw in town had connections to ranches- owners/buckaroos. Amazing.
Obama gave up on Georgia a couple of weeks ago.
McCain has a 17% lead in GA.
Does that me they need to "talk to the hand"?
