A Message For North Dakota Obama Supporters

Three quick reasons why Obama supporters in North Dakota should go all out for victory in their state tomorrow:

1. In a McCain comeback scenario, your three electoral college votes might allow Obama to hold on for victory.

2. In an Obama landslide scenario, North Dakota may have the honour of being the state that pushes him over the line.

3. Most importantly, you’re my predicted surprise for the night and I want to be proven right! Back in early October, I noticed on www.pollster.com that there had been no post-convention, post-Palin polls from your state (as well as Montana and South Dakota) and commented that the state of play in the area may be closer than shown (all three states were “safe McCain” at the time). Sure enough a few days later a poll came out for North Dakota showing a statistical tie and has been followed by several similar polls. Montana and South Dakota also showed tightening races but not quite ties. North Dakota is up for grabs.

So come on, ND Obamaniacs, let’s Get Out The Vote!
