It may be a long way away, but early indications are that a 2010 Senate race between incumbent Republican John McCain and Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano could be very competitive. A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that, if the election were held today, Napolitano would attract 46% of the vote and McCain would earn 45%.
That's an amazing result considering that McCain began 2007 as the perceived frontrunner in the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. However, his national campaign imploded in mid-year when McCain vocally became a vocal advocate for the wildly unpopular "comprehensive" immigration reform proposal.
