Scandal! (But We Knew It Already)

I saw this earlier today on another blog, but it wasn't attributed to anything so I didn't post about it, but Patterico has this from the official LA Times election blog:

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.

. . . .

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. (See video.) 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.

Oh, and you're a crazed loon if you don't believe the press is fair and objective.
