Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., the state’s lone congressman, announced this morning, just a few days before the state’s presidential preference caucuses on Tuesday, that he’s committed to the Illinois senator’s candidacy.

He said in a telephone conference call with North Dakota reporters that Obama, as president, may have the “rare capacity” to “get us out of the partisan death spiral” in Washington, D.C."

"Pomeroy also said he is impressed the amount of attention the Obama campaign has paid to North Dakota and its relatively few delegates. Unlike Sen. Hillary Clinton and Democrats who have dropped out, the Obama campaign has four offices in the state, nine employees and is the only one airing advertisements."

2. The Rep. from North Dakota is a good guy. As a former proud NorDakotan,

I think it's kinda funny that Obama has 9 employees in the state. That should rank him among the biggest employers in the entire state. (Tongue-in-cheek)

He's obviously making his stand in ND.

(You have to be from there to understand why this makes me laugh.)

3. Too bad Republicans aren't interested. THEY put us in this "partisan death spiral." nt
