Obama 44

ARIZONA - U.S. Senate - (Flake +1)

Flake (R) 44

Carmona (D) 43

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carmona is only 1-point behind. Can we send Bill Clinton to Arizona to help push him over the top? Bill won AZ in 1996.

1. If Carmona is down by 1 and still remains relatively unknown. That's a pretty good sign. nt

2. I think some people know him

I think he has some name recognition which should help.

He used to be Surgeon-General in a Republican administration. So hopefully voters will see he has made an effort to work with both parties, something the current GOP refuses to do. He also has been endorsed by Barry Goldwater's daughter & grand-daughter.

3. I read a few weeks back that he wasn't that well known. Which if it's true

he's starting with a pretty good advantage. Once more people get to know him his numbers could continue to increase.

4. I have seen street signs for quite a few Democrats in my area.

But I have yet to see one for Carmona. I am not sure what type of ground game he has going.

5. the DNC needs to step up their ground game then

They were supposed to make an effort to try and win this state this year.

Carmona is still the underdog, but if he can pull off an upset, the Senate will remain Democratic.

6. The Democrats need to get some money into this state it seems.
