While higher oil and food prices adversely affect much of the country, the situation becomes advantageous for the producers of such goods (e.g. North Dakota). The western part of the state is actually experiencing a boom of sorts as the Bakken Oil Formation is developed. The economic situation in North Dakota remains strong. In fact, employers in North Dakota often have a difficult time finding workers. I do find it funny that the Obama campaign is conceding defeat to no one; the McCain campaign doesn't have any paid staff in the state, as the article states.

John McCain is a longshot as long as the issues stay on the economy, because he is completely oblivious to anyone who isnt near his tax bracket. Palin was quickly forgotten as soon as economic hard times hit. There will be plenty of reminders between now and October, because its not getting better. 270 is the magic number and he can do it without North Dakota. His campaign has already defeated the most viable candidate, Hillary Clinton. They know that he needs to hold on to the states where he is ahead and he wins.

Even if he loses Ohio and Florida but wins Pennsylvania and Michigan, where he is ahead, he wins.

The North Dakota folks don't follow their way of thinking so Obama backers insult them and ridicule them. How sad. Obama campaigners are getting lower and lower. Is this really what we need in this country? I urge you to read through these posts and others on the CNN ticker and see for yourself who the hateful, negative ones really are. The Obama campaigners who have highjacked this network and others. North Dakota citizens have a right to choose who they want to vote for just like the citizens of New York or Illinois. The Obama backers here in these posts have said that the people from North Dakota are village idiots, racists, and closed minded. So much for Obama backers belief in the democratic process. In their minds if you aren't on their side than you are a target for their hate. Wow,

The racism there is mostly behind closed doors (unlike Southern confederate states where racism is out in the open). Since I'm white, I was often (and unwantingly) privy to the racist rants of people there. It doesn't surprise me the Obama campaign has decided to leave. The chance of that state's white racists voting for Obama is slim. Sad that they are so ignorant to vote solely on skin tone. Obama's probably the most promising presidential candidate we've seen since Kennedy. Too bad NDak is missing the boat on a historic election.
