Is Arzona abut to become another giving McCain heartburn?
Could McCain Lose His Home State?
Democrats are circulating a poll showing Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) losing ground in his own state, an ominous sign for his beleaguered campaign as state after state turns blues.

when will the bleeding stop for John?

I posted a poll some time ago which was done in the more populous areas of Arizona. The Senator was indeed only barely ahead and the poll indicated at the time, the Senator could lose his own State. The defense at the time was so what, it happens.

McCain might lose his own state. Palin doesn't get the support of the biggest newspaper in Alaska. Amazing!

For McCain's sake, I honestly would like him to win Arizona. He really did serve the country and his state well for quite a long time, it'd be a shame if they rejected him.

That said, I think it would be better for the GOP and country if Arizona went to Obama.

It would further highlight America's disgust with the politics of divisiveness so we could get back to two parties talking about issues like size/type of government, foreign policy, defense policy, fiscal policies, etc.

Arizona will go to McCain, hands down. I think even suggesting or debating it might lean to Obama is empty hopes and dreams.

Wow, a poll done by Democrats shows that a Obama gained a little ground.

Shocking!!!!

Hmmm, I expect McCain to win Arizona. . . but it's interesting, driving around Phoenix these past couple of weeks. There are a few McCain bumper stickers out there. . . perhaps not quite as many as the Obama stickers, but NOTHING LIKE IN FORMER YEARS, when it was obvious that AZ was solidly a republican state! Ditto with yard signs. . . a few for McCain, a few more for Obama. Note, this is not an official count, just my observations. I live in a suburban (and wealthy) area of town. Only 2 political signs on my street, both for Obama. So, although I do not expect Az to "turn blue" this time, I will be intrested to see how the vote breaks down. . . I'm thinking in the area of 51 / 49, and would be delighted if I was wrong, and many more folks are voting for Obama than can be expected from past performance.

McCain will offcourse win Arizona, along with FL, PA, and OH. Don't say I did not warn you.

How many times can we say this. PALIN IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!! Why would they support Palin? McCain, the person who would ACTUALLY be President, is a dog. He came from out of nowhere in the primaries and now the country is seeing why he was never considered a contender for the Republican throne.

Let's all say this together. PALIN is NOT THE PROBLEM. The candidate is.

Great post Mike P and Daily Journalist. I like how the left is already lickin' their chops... I've seen more Obama signs here in the New England area, but this corner of the earth leans heavily blue, so it's not all that surprising. Also, people who lean red are a lot less likely to advertise the fact. They just get up and go to work and do their jobs, then go vote on election day. In 35 years of voting, I've never been polled for my opinion, so I always doubt these poll results. They've been wrong a lot more than once!
