redundant post

Just got in and thought it was breaking news, as usual already lots of threads at DU about Obama going in to AZ.


Having just arrived in Tuscon (and registered to Vote today) I was astonished to see all of these Obama ads, something you never see in California.

And then the political wire has this AP report. I would say that the Obama campaign has already committed to run hard in AZ.

Last published poll showed only a 3 point difference

Obama Mulls Competing for Arizona
President Obama's campaign is considering competing in Arizona, the AP reports.

"Obama looked at competing in Arizona in 2008, but decided against it because of the support there for home state Sen. John McCain, the GOP nominee. Obama still won 45 percent of the vote."

"This year, Obama's team talked early on about running in Arizona, which offers 11 electoral votes, but it never did. Now, with an internal Democratic poll showing Obama narrowly leading Romney, Obama's team might make a play for the state that has seen a 160,000 increase in voter registrations by Democratic-leaning Hispanics over the past four years."
