John McCain's train wreck of a presidential campaign hurtles further down the tubes with a new poll, released this week, showing him narrowly in second place behind yankee Rudy Giuliani among registered Republican voters in his own home state of Arizona.
True, McCain quashes all the other GOP candidates among Arizona independent voters. But unfortunately for the straight talker, his poll numbers have been sinking at home over the year. Moreover, only voters registered with a political party (either Republican or Democrat) can participate in Arizona's February 5 primary, meaning that McCain's support among the non-aligned won't count for much in what is becoming an increasingly quixotic play for the Republican nomination. Even 25 years of representing Arizonans in Washington can't buy you their love.
