Arizona maintains its "reddish" trend. The statewide GOP is still far stronger and better organized than the democratic party. 2012 should have been a ripe year for Obama to make a run at it, but he never did. He didn't need it, but it was one state (the other being GA) that the democrats could have put some heat on the GOP.
GA needs a few more cycles before it's considered to be a swing state at the presidential level. Although it looks like it's going to be a GOP year (right now), watch the Senate race this year. Can the democrats actually make a run for it?
Well, Republicans are really suffering downballot in AZ. Part of that is the Dem-favoring maps going into effect, but Carmona only lost by about 3% and he had some serious issues as a candidate. Perhaps AZ was uniquely cold toward Obama but more open to Dems in general? It almost reminds me of Southern Blue Dogs.
