Anchorage Daily News, June 26:
Democrat Barack Obama could be coming to Alaska to
campaign as part of his effort to win a state that hasn't chosen a
Democrat for president since 1964.
"That is the plan -- we are pretty sure he's going to come at the
end of the summer," said Kat Pustay, who was named Wednesday as
Obama's Alaska director. . . .
"The campaign in Chicago is saying this is a battleground state so
we're going to get resources," she said.

Press poll, Sept. 3:
McCain-Palin 54%, Obama-Biden 35%.
Recall that Alaska was one of 18 states that David Plouffe
touted as a "battleground" in his famous June Power
Point presentation to the Washington press corps that caused
Eleanor Clift to
gush about the "surgical precision" of Team Obama's strategy.
