Washington, Sep 15 : The moose-hunting Alaska Governor and Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, has sent Barack Obama’s campaign into a state of panic as support for the Democratic presidential candidate drops in the battleground states he must win to reach the White House.

Palinmania has washed away Obama’s polling leads in several swing states that he had been counting on to win.

A clutch of polls last week showed McCain ahead by five points in Missouri, four in Ohio, four in Virginia and eight in Florida. New Mexico and Nevada, two top Obama targets, recorded narrow leads for McCain.
