Monday Morning Quarterbacking: I think Obama pulled his staff out of North Dakota way too Early

[MadBadger]

I havent seen a poll, but Im willing to bet that North Dakota and MOntana are back in play. We havent seen Obama poll this well at any time during this entire campaign. These state polls are astonishing. Obama is probably right back in the think of things in North Dakota and Montana and I wouldnt be shocked if he is even leading in North Dakota today.

1. If the polls are up in ND doesnt that preclude the logic of him pulling at the wrong time?

Sounds like he pulled at the right time to focus and make McCain play in battlegrounds.

2. Well, hindsight is 20/20

I still think it was the right decision, given the information available at the time. And who knows? Maybe he'll send staffers back for this last month.

5. I think Obama knows what the hell he's doing.

:):thumbsup:

6. How bout I say this....I think we can win North Dakota and Montana

Lets get some boots on the ground!

14. "North Dakota and Montana"?........Please, you're dreaming

[MadBadger]

16. Earlier in the summer he was only down 4-5 points in ND.

18. Wow a "Concern" sig... first ive seen that nt

[maseman]

We need to win Minnesota and Wisconsin

We don't need to win ND.

17. Exactly.

Winning ND would be great, but if Obama did that it would mean he was riding a national landslide.

7. If he is getting close in ND the election is over

[iceman66]

8. Is he still running ads there?

It's supposed to one of the most inexpensive media markets.

[MadBadger]

9. I read a few weeks back that he pulled out his campaign staff and I think stopped his ads

[Fluffdaddy]

15. Smart Move. He has no shot in North Dakota or Montana.

[Abacus]

10. If they're close enough to be competitive again, we won't need them

Because we'll be taking places like Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio.

11. I wonder what the South Dakota numbers will be

With McCain's ethanol comment I would think the race tightend there also.

[WI_DEM]

12. maybe so, but at this stage you have to make these kinds of decisions

hopefully local Obama volunteers can keep working hard.

13. Minn has more electoral votes than SD, ND, and Montana combined.

Same goes for Wisconsin. If he has to choose between ND and Minnesota, it's a no-brainer (sorry North Dakota :( )
