Arizona | Pre-Election Summary of the Presidential Race

According to the Washington Post, Arizona’s 10 electoral votes will be cast in favor of George Bush.

Democrats had hoped to make this a presidential battleground, but Bush is in good shape. Sen. John McCain (Rep) will easily win a fourth term against math teacher Stuart Starky (Dem). Freshman Rep. Rick Renzi started his reelection bid as one of the House’s most vulnerable Republicans, but he is expected to defeat Paul Babbitt (D), brother of former governor and interior secretary Bruce Babbitt.

Recognizing the unfavorable poll numbers, the Kerry campaign re-focused its efforts away from Arizona on onto other swing states in mid to late October [source: Arizona Republic]. Election Projection has Bush leading Kerry by 6.5% and Electoral Votes gives the race to Bush by approximately the same amount.
