Obama Closes Offices in 4 States... McCain Opens 50 in California!

Well, so much for that 50 state strategy. The Obama camp surrendered 4 states to McCain-Palin today.
And, you know what that means?
It's time to play the racism card!
Andrew Malcolm at the Top of the Ticket ties this decision by the Obama Campaign to close election offices in North Dakota, Alaska, Idaho and Georgia to a poll on Democratic racism that was released this weekend:
Exactly 44 years after Lyndon B. Johnson became the last Democrat to capture the state of North Dakota in a presidential election, it looks like Barack Obama won't be the next.
The Associated Press reported this evening and an Obama spokeswoman confirmed that the Chicago-based campaign is pulling its 50-some staffers out of the heavily Republican state full of embittered small towns and shipping the workers east to Minnesota and Wisconsin, where the Democrat's prospects seem brighter and closer.
John Kerry did the best of recent Democrats there, getting 36% of the North Dakota vote in 2004 -- 3 percentage points more than Al Gore in 2000.
The abandonment of at least one Midwestern state by Obama comes as a new AP poll indicates that race could play a significant role in deciding a close national election.
Some experts estimate the first African American candidate of a major party might be as much as 6 percentage points more ahead if he wasn't black.
Obama supporters hope that their months of work, 11 closing North Dakota field offices and widespread television advertising in the rural state may benefit down-ticket Democrats on Nov. 4. The Obama staff evacuation comes as early balloting is about to start there. Ace has more on Obama's shrinking turf.
Here's video by the AP on Democratic racism and how it may affect the Messiah:

It should be noted that the poll also suggested that unlike Democrats, Republicans tend to vote more on issues than race... of course.

McCain has opened 50 offices in California
Post-convention swing state polls are tipping toward Sen. John McCain, the TV pundits are waxing about "The Palin Factor," and Sen. Barack Obama's California supporters are freaking out about a race Democrats were uncommonly confident about only a month ago.
Ever since her speech to the Republican National Convention on Sept. 3, party officials say volunteers have been contacting California GOP offices in numbers unseen since Ronald Reagan was on the ballot for the White House.

How is this playing the racism card? He is really behind in those states. There is no chance of winning them. I don't see why he doesn't pull out of Texas either.

I dont know why but they are...
"the fact that Obama isn't leading in polls by a wide margin “doesn’t make sense ... unless it’s race,” says CNN's Jack Cafferty."
http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/16/obama-race-a-factor/
Obama is losing among older white voters because of the "color of his skin,"
"Racism is the only reason McCain might beat him."
http://www.slate.com/id/2198397/
DON'T THEY KNOW OBAMA IS HALF WHITE?????
anyway why the fuck is McCain putting money in Califorina?
Does he really think he has a chance there?

One-Third of Democrats are Racist
A New poll conducted with Stanford University show that racial views could make Obama lose the white house if the election stays close, More then One-Third of white democrats say blacks are Lazy, Violent, and responsible for there own troubles.
The Poll also states that Two and one half of a percentage point could be the number of voters that move away from Obama due to his race, thats larger then the difference between the candidates at the end of the election in 2004.
Over a Quarter of democrats doubt that Obama can bring the change they want and are voting for McCain due to this reason, while Three in Ten democrats do not trust Obamas change making ideas and credentials and are also voting for McCain.

Or maybe dumb ole whitey is noticing Barry's racism. Maybe it will be Barry's racism that turns off white voters. To me, that's just icing on the phonycake but I bet there's a pile of dumb crackers who don't like being told they're dumb crackers. Da Nile.

What the hell do these offices do anyways?
I find it pretty saddening that anyone needs some office in their neighborhood to coordinate some effort to inform them enough to make a damn decision on one of the most thouroughly explored set of issues in history.
Anyone that could be convinced by some door-to-door guy, campaign speech giver, or whatever they do at those regional offices is a fool- most likely.

> I find it pretty saddening that anyone needs some office in their neighborhood
To be fair, California is pretty large... there are 58 counties in California; I don't know how many offices McCain had before, but I doubt he has more than one per county, except in densely populated areas. Some of the counties in the western states are bigger than some of the eastern states.

Maybe they need the offices to hand out yard signs and bumper stickers?

They've both had offices here for a few months.
They just coordinate all of their local activities from there...
