Description | Jim Messina, President Barack Obama's campaign manager, rallied local volunteers Sunday by assuring them that Obama intends to fight for Arizona, a state he lost four years ago to Sen. John McCain.
Signs that Messina and the Obama campaign are serious about competing in Arizona, a traditional Republican state that has gone Democratic in presidential elections only twice since 1948, include the three Organizing For America offices that already have opened in Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff. A fourth office will open soon in Glendale. Obama and his strategists believe that Arizona would have turned blue in 2008 had home-state senator McCain not been on the ballot as Obama's GOP foe. Obama last month made a stop at an Intel Corp. site in Chandler. |
