McCain, Kirkpatrick make final push for support for Senate

Republican Sen. John McCain barnstormed across Arizona on Monday in a final push for support in a tough race against Democratic U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, who focused on getting out the vote in heavily Democratic southern Arizona.

The Senate race is one of several key decisions Arizona voters will make Tuesday, including whether to legalize recreational marijuana and re-elect an Arizona sheriff who is charged with a crime.

McCain is the clear front-runner as he campaigns for his sixth term, making last-minute stops in Flagstaff, Tucson and Yuma before ending the day at the historic Yavapai County Courthouse in Prescott.

The courthouse, a traditional stop for Republican candidates, is where Sen. Barry Goldwater launched his 1964 campaign for president and where McCain has ended every campaign, including his 2008 presidential bid.
