MCCAIN, OBAMA NECK AND NECK
Monday, September 15th, 2008 -- 12:18 PM
Sen. John McCain is sharply increasing his number of campaign aides and offices in Wisconsin, where he has worked his way back into a tight presidential race with Sen. Barack Obama.Through a barrage of television ads, campaign events and the selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain has pulled closer in a state some Democrats hoped would be an Obama stronghold this cycle.
Brown County Republican Party Chairman Tom Van Drasek says there's a boost in enthusiasm thanks to Palin being added to the ticket. He says the energy level is way up.
Democrats concede that development portends a closer general election for Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes than they were hoping.
But state party chairman Joe Wineke says Obama still has the best organization he's seen in the last 30 years.
