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.
