Obama Skeptical About Chances in Idaho

Barak Obama revealed today that his campaign strategy, presumably focused on winning the Presidential election, did not include any campaigning efforts in the state of Idaho. At a press conference in Michigan today, the presidential hopeful was asked about his strategy in Idaho to which he responded, "The good people of Idaho have seen my voting record on potatoes and sugar beets, it is obvious I am for both. Also, I don't like to brag, but the last time I was fly fishing south of Boise, an emaciated Salmon leapt from the water into my arms, all famished and looking homeless. My opponent is on the record stating, "Salmon are stupid, "F" salmon right in their fishy "A". I disagree with that point of view. "When that salmon landed in my arms I nourished it from my own teet. I also burped the salmon. And then…..I showed it how to spawn…..wait….I can't do this. Okay, here's the deal, let me be real about Idaho. I am probably not going to win this state because I am a Democrat and then there's the pink elephant in the corner of the room that no one wants to mention so let me throw it out there. "Yes...I am a junior Senator, happy now? This may sound funny but I am actually rooting for McCain in Idaho. I had this shirt made for friends and family that says on the front, "I ran for President and all I lost was Idaho, Arkansas, and Texas…"and then on the back it says, "But I still got this lousy T-shirt!" If I may borrow from one of the great thespians, "Larry the Cable Guy", "I don't care who you are, that's funny!" Also, the shirts cost like $475.00 and it would be a shame for them to go to waste."
