Clinton puts Arizona in play, Obama not so much. AZ is on the brink of becoming blue.

[goldcanyonaz]

Clinton has a huge base is my state. Most of this states demographic is now made up of Northerners who have moved here and Hispanics. Obama wasn't able to pull off a win here, even with the Governor and all the newspaper endorsements going his way.



Arizona is fastly becoming Clinton Country.

[KittyWampus]

1. Arizona is going to vote against McCain?

[goldcanyonaz]

2. His support has greatly diminished here. This state is now mostly made up of Northerners who have

moved here.

[Unsane]

4. Arizona is going to vote against McCain?

:crazy:

[goldcanyonaz]

7. Do you also live in Arizona?

[Unsane]

13. Are you saying Hillary will win AZ should she be the nominee?

Is THAT what you're saying. Be specific. I want to know whether or not to take you seriously.

[goldcanyonaz]

16. I am saying that HIllary has a lot of support here, more than any other Democratic candidate to date

Our state has embraced Hillary Clinton, and the Hispanics could very well bring this state to us come to November.

[jillan]

12. Romney almost tied McCain here.

It is hard to say what would happen in the GE.

[Kittycat]

6. So they'll vote for Obama or Clinton - whomever gets the nod.

[goldcanyonaz]

10. For Clinton, yes. For Obama, probably not. The Hispanic community is Hillary all the way.

[Kittycat]

25. So they'll vote for McCain if he gets the nod?

[Thrill]

3. So you're saying they won't support the Dem nominee?

[scheming daemons]

5. You could say the same thing with Obama and Colorado...

..just sayin'.

[Exultant Democracy]

11. Except McCain isn't from CO, so that would make sense, unlike the OP.

[goldcanyonaz]

19. Uh, I live in Arizona, do you? McCain isn't all that popular here any more.

[Exultant Democracy]

27. Have a house on 4th and 2nd in Tucson, Pima County Dem here. McCain will win AZ

and a Hillary run might just turn out enough conservatives to lose Gabbi's seat, cause we know the only reason she won it is because the party was so fractured (I know for a fact she is worried about re-election.)

[City Lights]

41. And yet he won more votes on Tuesday than Clinton.

[Occam Bandage]

8. So Arizona will support Clinton over McCain?

[Straight Shooter]

9. Being a Goldwater girl is a helpful theme in Arizona.

Correct me if I'm wrong, goldcanyonaz, but they love Goldwater in Arizona. He did so much for the environment and the Native Americans.

The phrase "Goldwater conservative" evokes nostalgia in a lot of American conservatives.

edit typo

[goldcanyonaz]

14. Native Americans and Hispanics have a warm place in their hearts for anything Clinton.

She is adored here, Obama is not.

[Unsane]

21. Is that why Obama won CO and tied NM?

Because Hispanics do not like him? Is that why?

Btw, your Hispanic nonsense smacks of racial overtones. Do they not like him because he is black?

[Straight Shooter]

26. Don't look now but an Obama follower is pulling the race card again.

Ironic, isn't it, goldcanyonaz? ;)

[goldcanyonaz]

31. Yes, but not surprising. *sigh*

[Iceburg]

22. They will vote against a 100 year war if given a competent alternative

that can lead them out of the war safely and with dignity.

30% Hispanic or Latino
3.8% Black
5% Native Indian
60% White

13% > 65 years old

[BeyondGeography]

15. Clinton puts Minnesota in play...for the Republicans

[Straight Shooter]

17. Do try to keep your eye on the ball. The subject is Arizona and Hillary. n/t

[BeyondGeography]

24. That's not even worth discussing

She might win Arkansas though. Not that it makes up for Minnesota.

[Straight Shooter]

28. If you don't think it's worth discussing, then don't bother posting irrelevant topics. n/t

[goldcanyonaz]

32. Actually it is worth discussing for those with a interest in this state.

[557188]

36. And Obama gives Michigan to the Republicans

[tritsofme]

18. Any Democratic candidate would be a fool to contest AZ

Now that McCain is their nominee.

Not gonna happen.

[goldcanyonaz]

20. I see your from Illinois. I actually live and breath Arizona every day.

My pulse on this state is much closer to yours.

[Straight Shooter]

23. You're saying the Dem nominee should take their name off the GE ballot in Arizona?

Defeatist attitude, capitulating to McCain before even one vote is cast.

[goldcanyonaz]

35. Funny how the thought of Clinton winning a red state is BS, but Obama isn't.

[City Lights]

43. I highly doubt either Democratic candidate will carry AZ with McCain as

the GOP nominee.

[cali]

29. That makes little sense

repukes will me mobilized like crazy and she doesn't appeal to indies. Even if all dems turn out, she won't take Arizona.

[goldcanyonaz]

33. Many "Indies" and G-D forbid Republicans like her here here when McCain is the other option.

[rene moon]

42. Maybe the "Indies"

But not the Republicans I know.

[rene moon]

30. I live here

And I think McCain will take AZ, no matter who the Dem nominee will be.

Despite declining support, the Republicans in this state will either not vote or vote for McCain instead of Clinton, most definitely.

[thevoiceofreason]

34. Dream on

And on the other hand, assuming what you say is true, I'll see your Arizona and raise you S. Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama.

[loveangelc]

37. Are you serious??? If McCain is the nominee it's going to McCain.

[Blue-Jay]

38. If McCain weren't running, I might agree.

Neither Sen Clinton nor Sen Obama will beat McCain in his home state. It's a nice thought, but it ain't gonna happen this year.

[City Lights]

39. I highly doubt that.

According to these figures, more people voted for McCain than for Clinton on ST. The GOP won in total votes cast too.

How does that add up to Clinton carrying AZ in November?

If you've got more than your opinion on this, I'd love to see it.

[book_worm]

40. hogwash.
