LMAO........MSNBC just told Kyle from Arizona

that today they downgraded Arizona from solid to LEANING mClOSER!!!!
What if he lost his own friggin' state???
:rofl:

He said there is a possibility there was a landslide in the making.
HIs map showed red states Montana and the two Dakotas now "leaning"!

I've been astonished at how many Obama commercials I have seen on TV here. Team O is ceding NO GROUND. :toast:

Oh, saw the first McCain commercial 2 days ago.

McCain. Demographic trends are moving AZ into the Dem camp in the long term (2012 and beyond)

My uncle, particularly, seems like just the type of person to be a McCain fan: white guy in his mid-60s, Vietnam vet, and a literal millionaire. But they can't stand him...I remember them ranting about him years ago.

out of some pride or who knows what...but I think the entire Southwest has now got him figured out and they don't like what they see,
The huge gaffe he made about Colorado and their water sunk him there. (IMO)


edit spelling

but I doubt it's as solidly red as many people think.

home from Hawaii. It is only 5.5 hours flight from Oahu to Anchorage, and Obama could do a day in town and the airport. Let's take the Alaska electoral votes too!

And think of Obama's coattails.

and two more look to go that way in 14 days! (1st & 3rd) :bounce:

A place where all you need is the POW card to get a nomination and and (R) next to your name to get elected. He's never really been viewed a "Ours" - even by AZ conservatives.

There was a joke when he was first running for Congress that the definition of an "Arizona Native" was anybody who had lived here longer than John McCain. There where people who still had most of their possessions in moving boxes that fit that description.

i bet he had his fingers crossed under the desk

Didn't Gore loose Tennessee & Kerry loose North Carolina, so anything can happen especially with the deep Mexican & Native American population.

I Meant didn't Edwards loose North Carolin?

Most of McCain's support comes from people who have lived here for 10, 15, 20+ years.

However, Arizona's fast-growing populations could create a problem for McCain, since people move here from literally every corner of the country.

I could definitely see Arizona being close. I think only a giant landslide would give the state to Obama, but it will be closer than 2000 and 2004, where the margin was about 55-45% Republican.
