John McCain and the Republican National Committee are now running robocalls attacking Obama as weak on terrorism -- in McCain's home state of Arizona, according to multiple readers from the state.

The call signals genuine worry about McCain's home state at a time when several polls show the race to be much closer than expected there.

McCain's robocall, which was played to us over the phone by Mary Joe Bartel, a retiree who lives south of Tucson, attacks Obama as unprepared to defend the country from terrorism, singling out Joe Biden's recent remarks about the likelihood of Obama being tested by an international crisis early in his first term.

Here's the script:

I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because Barack Obama is so dangerously inexperienced, his running mate Joe Biden just said, he invites a major international crisis that he will be unprepared to handle alone.

If Democrats win full control of government, they will want to give civil rights to terrorists and talk unconditionally to dictators and state sponsors of terror. Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the experience and judgment to lead America. This call was paid for by the Republican National Committee and authorized by McCain-Palin 2008.

1. Sorry, Arizona.

We didn't mean to make the state competitive--honest. :P

2. For what its worth, I live in Tempe (City where ASU is located).

I had no idea we even had early voting in this state, but I guess we do. I went to the Tempe library yesterday to get some books, and was surprised to find it bursting at the seams crowded with people who were there to vote early. It was seriously busy as hell.. like a crowded nightclub. I took this as a good sign as Tempe is very liberal, and this I assume was just one among many early voting places. And it was only 2:00 in the afternoon. So heres hoping we can pull off AZ for Obama.
