President Barack Obama's Try-To-Capitalize-On-the-State of the Union campaign stop in Chandler this afternoon has got the national media taking notice of the political statement being made. Here is an opinion column from Ruth Marcus in yesterday's Washington Post.
She quotes the President's campaign manager, Jim Messina (full disclosure: I always liked him more than Loggins) as saying that "We don’t say we’re definitely going to get Arizona to turn blue, but we’re going to take a long and hard look at it.”
The rest of the column is interesting, though nothing that should come as a surprise anyone who knows anything about Arizona politics.

YEAH, WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU, ARIZONA: New York Times Peeks Behind Scenes At Flake's, Schweikert's Town Halls
(Occasionally, we try to highlight news coverage of Arizona from around the rest of the nation and world. The series will be titled, "Yeah, we're looking at you, Arizona.")
The New York Times ran a report today (page A9) about the behind the scenes efforts to rustle up people to attend congressional town hall meetings. The article focuses solely on Arizona Reps. Jeff Flake (R-CD6) and David Schweikert (R-CD5). (And actually, Flake's was a campaign event as part of his effort to take Jon Kyl's seat in the Senate.)
Nothing much surprising in the report, and it does not put Arizona in a negative light. In fact, the gist is that these efforts were representative of those going on around the country.
