Obama had no campaign here. I live in a very Democratic part of AZ (near ASU) and I saw no Obama yard signs at houses which had signs up for other Democratic candidates. Carmona ran a disastrous ad essentially video photo shopping the support of McCain and Kyl when everybody in the state knew they supported Flake. He was up in the polls before that ad and went down afterward.
