Obama to open more Alaska offices

By GottaLaff

Que Sera Sarah:

Barack Obama's presidential campaign will open its sixth and seventh offices in Alaska on Monday -- in Sitka and Homer. The campaign has two offices in Anchorage, and offices in Palmer, Fairbanks and Juneau.

In response to Gov. Sarah Palin's surprise pick as a Republican vice president nominee, the strategy in Alaska remains "full speed ahead," said Jeff Giertz, Alaska communications director for the Obama campaign. "We're going forward with our program here and our message to reach out to Alaskans on a one-to-one basis."

The campaign has canvassed Alaska neighborhoods for the past few weekends and sent campaign staff to rural Alaska towns, including Barrow and Bethel. "Yesterday, we had an organizing event in Kodiak," Giertz said.

And a comment in response to that article:

We're behind Barack here in Sitka and look forward to a breath of fresh air in D.C. come January with Bush packing his bags and Palin crawling back to Wasilla or Juneau or wherever she calls home.

That was the only comment; there were none from Palin supporters.
