Would be huge field-expander and is possible
With one poll now showing John McCain's home state of Arizona in a statistical dead heat, will Obama be tempted to put some effort in here?
The Las Vegas TV market blankets northwestern Arizona, so Obama's already been getting some airplay. New Mexico looks safe enough that, on the fly, Obama could move campaign staff. And, staffers working in traditionally Hispanic and American Indian areas could pick up on the fly.
And, the latest poll numbers indicate Obama can safely transition N.M. staff, with a 17-point lead.
The key to me (as someone who grew up in the Four Corners) would be a GOTV effort on the Big Rez. Obama surely has a similar effort already set up in New Mexico's portion of the Navajo Reservation.
I think it's doable, if Obama wants to take a small but reasonable roll of the dice. And, even if not an official eff-you action, it would definitely shiv McCain at the last minute.
