Can't win unless you're in the game Senator McCain. Looks like Obama's gonna give you a run for your money. (btw, if you see this Ms Pustay- call me. I've always wanted to go to Alaska.)
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.
Obama is opening a campaign office in Anchorage with paid staff, although Pustay said she didn't know yet just how big the operation will be here.
"The campaign in Chicago is saying this is a battleground state so we're going to get resources," she said.

Crystal Benton, a national campaign spokeswoman for John McCain, said she's confident McCain will continue the tradition of Republican presidential success in Alaska.
Benton said there are no immediate plans for McCain to campaign in Alaska but his long-term schedule isn't set.
She said McCain doesn't expect to open a campaign office in Alaska but there could be a "victory office"** in cooperation with the Republican National Committee.
