Did Obama's campaign fire someone or not?

Wally Edge says Seton Hall law prof Mark Alexander picked up a pink slip from Barack Obama's campaign. The professor had been Obama's national policy director.

Obama's campaign promptly flipped out over the report that they fired Mark...
“The post by Wally Edge this morning is completely inaccurate,� said Obama spokesperson Jen Psaki. “We have relocated several senior staffers to key February 5th states, including our Deputy Political Director, our mid-western political director to Missouri, and western field director to California and so on.�

But New Jersey Democrats supporting Obama don’t seem to agree with the spin from the national campaign office, suggesting that it is a bit unusual for a campaign to dispatch one of their issues experts to run a state campaign – especially one who has little experience in running ground operations.
So if you believe the spin, Obama's handlers took a national policy director and put him in charge of campaign efforts in a single state. That ain't firing, that's just a demotion. I can see where people would get confused.
