PPP: (AZ Senate Race) Carmona (D) 43%, Flake (R) 44%

[Grown2Hate]

I keep getting the sense that this race will actually be close, and here is yet ANOTHER poll showing it to be so (PPP also had them tied at 38 apiece in July). In ARIZONA (I live in Phoenix, BTW).

If we can get Pima County to turn out HUGE, and work the Phoenix area, we might actually pull this off. This race seems to be off of the radar somewhat, but I get the sense AZ isn't AS deep red as it appears to be (hell, President Obama only lost by 9% in 2008 to McCain, in his home state!).

This has me excited. Time to donate to Carmona!!!

1. Yup.

I posted my suggestion of sending Bill Clinton (who won AZ in 1996) earlier today:

2. I would love to get excited about AZ and Flake's demise but . . .

bear in mind that PPP has a dem bias.

4. I keep hearing people attempt to refute this, but I sense it myself (without empirical data).

It does seem to bias toward Democrats, but not on the order of a Rasmussen slanting toward R's. At least that's my sense. Still, it's promising. At least there's a SHOT.

8. If this is closer than 10 points on election day, Obama is reelected for sure.

If it's closer than 5, then it's an excellent night for Democrats. For the Democrat to win this race would require a truly massive registration and mobilization effort to change the basic composition of the electorate.

9. How did Bill Clinton do it?

If Bill Clinton could do it in 1996, that shows that it's doable for another Democrat as well.

Particularly since there is now a larger Latino population and changing demographics compared to the 1990's.

3. Flakes get a lot of support in AZ

7. I think the cut-off is about a month prior to the election (28 days IIRC)? N/T
