Obama targets McCain's home state Posted: 11:12 AM ET CNN Associate Political Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand Obama will run ads in McCain's home state of Arizona. (CNN) – Barack Obama's campaign announced Friday that it was going on the air in John McCain's home state of Arizona for the first time this cycle, as a new CNN poll of polls released this morning finds the Republican nominee leading the Illinois senator there by just 4 percentage points, 49 to 45 percent. Six percent of the state's voters said they were unsure about their presidential pick. Obama campaign manager David Plouffe told reporters the campaign's positive closing argument spot, 'Something,' will hit the airwaves in Arizona. He also said the campaign was going back on the airwaves in Georgia and North Dakota with its negative closing argument spot, 'Rearview Mirror,' which ties McCain to President Bush. CNN's new Georgia poll of polls shows McCain still leading Obama by 6 points, 50 to 44 percent, amid reports of overwhelming early voting turnout. Earlier this week, the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee launched negative robo-calls in the state telling voters Obama was unready to handle an international crisis. On Thursday, MoveOn.org announced that it was targeting the Arizona senator with ad buys in each of the state's major media markets. The Obama camp also issued a call for volunteers there, citing tightening polls in the state. McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds dismissed the new Obama push Friday morning, calling it a "waste of his resources." politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com
