It’s a winner-take-all state and it’s still too close to call. Imagine if Johnny Mac were to get beat in his home state. It’s always tough for a politician to lose where the people know him best, but for an incumbent senator of such long standing it would be a huge embarrassment.

This will be interesting.

UPDATE: Was searching the Arizona conservative blogs and found this, which echoes my comment above about the folks who know
McCain best:

McCain’s legendary temper and maverick streak have irked members of the GOP on virtually all sides. No one knows that better than those who should be his biggest backers, the top leadership of the Arizona Republican Party. Instead, they are some of his most ardent foes, and McCain’s actions earlier this year have done little to assuage their anger.

Still, Seeing Red AZ predicts McCain will win his own state tonight, despite the bad feelings brewing among GOP’ers out there.
