Obama Concedes North Dakota

My friends in North Dakota can rest easy - the Obamessiah has given up trying to convert them:

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.

Obama has 11 campaign offices in North Dakota, and he's made stops in Grand Forks and Fargo.

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

I'm sure Obama could have won Fargo, but probably didn't find much support anywhere else. I've also heard stories of Obama staffers being called out of Virginia and send to Pennsylvania, but there's no word that Virginia offices have been closed.
