PHOENIX — President Obama’s re-election campaign is dispatching workers across Arizona’s college campuses and Latino neighborhoods this spring, registering as many new voters as they can in an organized, three-month effort to determine whether they can put this unlikely state into play for Democrats this November.
By any measure the obstacles are considerable: Arizona has voted for precisely one Democratic president since Truman was in the White House. Yet Mr. Obama’s aides said in interviews that they thought it was possible they could move the needle of history by winning in 2012 a state that analysts believe is heading Democratic in national elections, but may not be there yet.
Obama strategists are simply following the same techniques they used in 2008 when putting states like North Carolina and Indiana into play. Then, too, there was much initial skepticism, though both states ended up going for Mr. Obama.

They are getting desperate if they need AZ
They are getting desperate if they need AZ
They must know something about the voting machines in Arizona.
We need to have voter registration drives
for us... the Constitutionalists.
The RNC is worthless.
And Jim Demint, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Paul Ryan are not out there
telling everyone they must become involved in this way.
WHY NOT????
There is very little passion and urgency in the Republicans.
Why?
They’ll probably pay the “Coyotes” who bring them in to sign up the illegals.
Go for it ... spend the time and money ... great idea.
Sheriff Joe and Arizonians will stick it up your butt ... luv it!
Yeah - Arizona is such a conservative state, it sent the poster boy for open borders amnesty (John McCain) to the Senate.
“Obama strategists are simply following the same techniques they used in 2008 when putting states like North Carolina and Indiana into play. Then, too, there was much initial skepticism, though both states ended up going for Mr. Obama.”
yes- except the fools in those two states who pulled the lever for obama were doing so on the ignorance that the platitudes obama spoke would better the nation....four years later and the people in the states of NC, Indiana, Arizona and most of the nation now see what most of us knew going in- obama is and will always be an unmitigated disaster....
I’m not a Romney fan at all and i felt the GOP was screwing themselves the past four months but the more i see what’s happening i feel Romney has really got to eff it up not to beat the child in the White House- either in the state of Arizona or most of the other 52....
Hasn’t he done enough for our great state already. Ride him and the friends he came in with out on a rail. I think he is trying to stick it into the eye of Joe. Hey Arizona, are we going to stand for this?
Why are they bothering? If Obama locks up the East and the Midwest like he did last time, before Arizona’s votes are even counted, Romney will concede just like McLame did.
You can BET these are gonna be Illegals, who they'll sign up and instruct them to vote by Absentee or Mail-in, so they are not risking exposure.
So the 2012 Democrat campaign strategy is to lull the Republicans into a sense of complacency by making them think the Dems have gone completely bonkers?
This is about exploiting illegals who are pissed off that someone is trying to do something about illegals. Purposely violating laws and any reason for their own power.
What bastards the rats are.
Like another poster said, it is about aggravating the Sheriff.
Could be disinformation. Tread carefully.
Ten votes for mexicans!
AZ for Romney? This is bad.
no chance, the Mormon bigots will ensure Romney a victory in Arizona.
Yep,
North Carolina, Virginia and Florida and Obama skates to another 4 years thanks to our RINO Yankee Mormon nominee.
