Russ Gugino, the McCain campaign’s coordinator for Western New York, believes “the buzz provided by Governor Palin’s addition to the Republican ticket may be enough to overcome Barack Obama’s eight point poll lead in New York State,” according to WNED.
I certainly agree that Sarah Palin changes the dynamic of the race. I certainly hope the enthusiasm she brings to the ticket closes the gap between Obama and McCain in this state, and, at the very least, forces Obama to use campaign resources to campaign here.
