embarassed yourself above. Its a pattern with you.

Not only are you not paying attention or actually reading the polls to realize that I was using the same polls you were recommending so highly, but this week the Obama campaign was sending its number one surrogate where, oh my goodness why is Michelle all of a sudden going to all places in the world - Phoenix. Next time you come to one of my threads and want to spread your bullshit bring a fact or two.

Here are the facts

1)The reality is that McCain is soft in his state.

2)He only got 50% of the vote in his Republican Primary.

3)He is currently polling at less than 50% in his state in the latest polls (the same ones you recommend)

4)Polls show also that only 34% of Arizonans believe that McCain has the answers to Iraq and the Economy.

5) A few days after the poll is published Michelle Obama comes to Phoenix and promises to return.

Those are the facts and nothing in the dozen replies have dispelled any of those facts or the implication that it seems clear that

something is happening in Arizona and that the Obama campaign is aware of it and intend to add pressure there.

The fact is that if it continues to tighten to even a 5-6 points (the last poll was 9) it will have a dramatic impact impact on McCain's fund raising. A lot of people are not going to contribute money to a person who cannot command a following in his own state.

You have got it back asswards. They are not going there because the read something I wrote, I started looking at Arizona polls to figure out

why with all of the places that they could go to would they send Michelle Obama there last week during the middle of the campaign for an event that was closed to the press and indicate that they intended to coming back.

Michelle Obama event goes largely unnoticed

With most media attention focused on the president's fundraising stop with Sen. John McCain yesterday, Michelle Obama's Phoenix appearance went largely unnoticed. The First Lady hopeful was also in Phoenix, just a block from where Bush and McCain had been scheduled to appear, speaking to a klatsch of contributors at the Wyndham Hotel.

The Arizona Republic reports that Obama's visit was held in semi-secrecy, off-limits to reporters and kept successfully under the radar for the most part, unlike the Bush-McCain visit:

"On the same day presidential hopeful Barack Obama criticized John McCain for holding a private fundraiser in Phoenix that excluded the media, Obama's wife, Michelle, visited the same city and skipped reporters, as well.

"'Unfortunately, Michelle's short stop in the state is closed to the press and she is not doing interviews, but we will be back,' said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, spokeswoman for Michelle Obama, in an e-mail."

The Obama campaign has a habit of going places that people don't think they should, that are just a waste of time. And of all of the places to go she shows up in Phoenix three days ago and makes a point of "stating we will be back"
