WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN THE KERRY CAMP ABANDONING EVERYTHING SOUTH OF MARYLAND:
Poll: Bush widening Ariz. lead (Jon Kamman and Billy House, Jul. 16, 2004, The Arizona Republic)
The Rocky Mountain Poll results, released Thursday, had Bush at the same level as three months earlier, 46 percent, among registered voters. Kerry dropped 6 points, to 36 percent.In effect, all of Kerry's loss went into the undecided column, now at 18 percent. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
Explanations for Kerry's decline ranged from an improving Arizona economy, to voters' growing faith in Bush's consistency of policy, to Kerry's announcement in Phoenix that he would make immigration reform an early priority of his administration.

I've lived in Arizona for thirty years. If Kerry wins Arizona I will personally eat every hat I own.
