Poll: Obama Beating McCain In Arizona

Washington Independent:

In a sign of continued weakness in his home state, an online poll shows Sen. John McCain trailing Sen. Barack Obama by 3-percentage points in Arizona. The poll also shows the candidacy of Libertarian Bob Barr is having a significant impact on McCain's campaign by siphoning off conservative voters nationwide.

The Arizona poll was part of nationwide Zogby International poll that put Obama ahead in total electoral votes with 273 to 160 for McCain. The poll found 11 states with 105 electoral votes too close to call -- including Arizona. McCain's campaign in June included Arizona among its list of swing states.

(Matt Mahurin) McCain not only faced problems with Independent voters, he is losing a small, but potentially lethal voting block of the GOP right to Barr. The former Republican congressman from Georgia is pulling just enough voters in many states to shift the balance to Obama. Whether this bloc will remain in Barr's camp on election day could determine the outcome.

Did all of you old folks out there in Arizona know that Social Security is a disgrace?

Even getting McCain to fight in red states like Arizona that should be by all rights his is a huge win for Obama. Obama's 52 state strategy doesn't mean Obama has to fight in all 52 states he just has to be competitive in places where democrats haven't been competitive in a long time. That alone will strech mCains funds, dilute his grass roots help and divide his time between states he must win to beat Obama come November and states he must look like he's winning to save face until November. McCain can't make it look as if he's being blown out all across America. Good stuff.

This reminds me of Gore's unfortunate failure to carry Tennessee in 2000. It's a worse sign for McCain though since he currently represents his state in the Senate, while Gore was eight years out of that position during his presidential campaign.

Operation Chaos II: give money to Barr. It would be truly great if the GOP comes in third place.

I was just thinking Barr-McCain kinda has a ring to it.

My Friends, here's what this shows. All the latest polls show Obama leading in the states near Illinois, whereas McCain is loosing near or at Arizona. It tells me that the more you get to know Obama, you like him more and the more you get to know McCain, you dislike him more.

The problem with your analysis is that Arizona has elected him multiple times.
They *probably* know him there.
They just don't want him in the White House.
