Though the economy and job losses most certainly have something to do with Bush's declining support in AZ (and many other states) what is being lost on most here is that AZ is transitioning into a Democratic state because of illegal immigration. It's no different in that regard than CA except it is a few years behind.

Apparently many have forgotten that up until the mid-90s AZ was one of the most reliable states for the GOP across the board. Now, AZ has a democratic governor and Bush barely won the state in 2000.

Demographics is destiny and the trends driven by illegal immigration certainly do not bode well for the Republican Party--especially conservatism in AZ or in any other state that is experiencing a mass influx of Illegal Aliens.

When is the Stupid Party going to Wake Up?

Your post would have been much more effective had you placed it prior to my voter registration stats. You know, the ones that show the Dem registration declining at a faster pace than the GOP's. :-)
