Arizona has been battleground that seems to slightly lean Republican through elections. Bush won the state by about 10 points, and with John McCain being from Arizona, one would have to think that this one won't be that close. However, you can't say that it is impossible, because this state has been close many times before and the country is leaning to the Democratic side at the moment, so at least at the moment I will say that it is a Leans Republican. There is no senate contest, but look for a couple of House races to competitive.-----------------------------
