So polling in Arizona, McCain's home state, isn't going so well. McCain has slipped from a comfortable double digit lead down to a 5 point lead according to RCP averages. None of the recent polls reflect a double digit lead, in fact his best result is an 8 point lead, the worse being 2 points.
In response to Obama being within striking distance of his own state, McCain has upgraded AZ to battleground status and rolled in the robocalls.
Sen. John McCain and the Republican National Committee are reportedly running anti-Barack Obama robocalls in Arizona – McCain's home state.
Talking Points Memo reports that the calls hit Obama for being inexperienced and soft on terrorists. 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.
Few expected McCain's home state to be within Obama's reach, but recent polls have suggested McCain's lead has shrunk to the single digits in the state.
