According to this article, it is not necessarily a given that McCain will win his home state of Arizona. McCain served two terms in the House of Representatives for Arizona, before his four terms as Senator for Arizona. For a state that he has served so loyally for so long, to turn there back on him now is not an encouraging sign. The 20 point lead McCain held over the summer has now been reduced to only 3.5 points, a drastic change. This doesn't bode well for his success in the polls tomorrow. Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan all managed to secure the electoral votes from their home states, and not that he can't possibly win without Arizona, but this speaks volumes about how loyal his constituents are to him. So will Arizona go red or blue? Thoughts?

i think Obama will win Arizona because as it states in the article..if it WASN" T for McCant then Arizone would have long been a democratic state.
plus like Aimee pointed out...McCant has slowly been losing popularity.. =/ boohoo.
I did see something on the news briefly that Arizona was a toss-up. People are starting to go with the "obama-trend" and finding that the majority of citizens don't approve of McCain and the newscaster said that Arizona was known for it's gulliblity and readiness to jump on the bandwagon. I wish I could find a clip of the newscast but I can't.
