    AP:

    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.

    She declined to say how many campaign workers were being shifted, but other Democratic activists put the number at more than 50. Obama has opened 11 North Dakota campaign offices and run television advertising in the state, which is unusual for a Democratic presidential candidate.

     

    It is expected that volunteer efforts will continue, but this is a pretty sharp sign that the Obama group believes that ND as a "swing state" was not to be.

    McCain is polling with huge margins over Obama.  Although Obama will likely garner more votes than Gore or Kerry, ND's red state status will likely be intact.
