If Obama wins Arizona RW heads will explode. I think that Romney is still likely to win there unfortunately. But, 2016 watch out it will probably go blue.

Bill to campaign here (more for Carmona than President Obama, since I don't think we'll win the Electoral Votes here). LET'S GO CARMONA!!!

While it would be nice for Obama to win Arizona, the most important thing is for Carmona to win the Senate seat.

So for all those here who live in AZ, please contact Carmona's office and suggest that they call Bill Clinton's aides and request a visit from Bill. Bill remains the only Democrat to win Arizona (in 1996) since Truman in 1948. He might be able to help Carmona across the finish line if he can make the case to some independents.

I think this kind of tightening could also happen in South Carolina, Georgia, Indiana and North Dakota.

Those 2 states have winnable Senate seats on the line.
