But, you know, remembering different cities in fifty-seven states is a tough job. So we shouldn’t judge him too harshly for forgetting what city he’s in.
The Democratic frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama of another state, Illinois, had an enthusiastic double-barreled stump introduction from two local luminaries, former Sens. Tom Daschle and George McGovern, who was an equally enthusiastic supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton until recently. But he changed his mind.
McGovern knows a little about presidential races, having once been the Democratic presidential candidate himself way back in 1972. He lost though.
Both South Dakotans lavished all sorts of praise on Obama, according to reporters present, including The Times Nicholas Riccardi. As the large, enthusiastic crowd of some 7,000 supporters roared and waved “We can do it” signs and Bruce Springsteen’s “The Rising” blared, Obama bounded onto stage, grabbed the microphone and said, “Thank you, Sioux City!”
Trouble is, Obama was in Sioux Falls.
So was the crowd, which suddenly fell silent. Where are those Southwest Airlines get-away flights when you need them?
“I’m sorry,” Obama quickly caught himself. “Sioux Falls. I’ve been in Iowa too long.”
Sioux City is in Iowa. Sioux Falls is in South Dakota.
Here’s video:
Whoopsie. Must be such a tiring, confusing job, campaigning. Imagine being PRESIDENT. Jeesh.

gunnyPink says: On Thursday, I blogged re: a poll in the morning paper (Sioux Falls, SD: Argus Leader); “Are you going to see a presidential candidate this week?”
At the time I participated in the poll, 161 votes had been recorded (including mine) and 5.6% said “Yes”, while 94.4% said “No”.
Perhaps BHO should think about the “Dump Daschle” operation that ran through South Dakota.
Reality prolly is that BHO felt safer in Iowa, than in South Dakota.
