What’s the Word is reporting John McCain will hold a rally at the University of New Mexico Student Union Building on Monday at 1 p.m. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for the event, which is being planned at the last minute.
From What’s the Word:
The candidate will arrive in the Duke City just after noon, and leave immediately following the rally to prepare for his 2nd presidential debate with Barack Obama on Tuesday night.
This comes on the heels of a poll that shows McCain behind Barack Obama by five points in a recent poll by The Albuquerque Journal.
New Mexico is increasingly being listed as a lean-Obama state instead of a battleground state. It’s clear the McCain campaign is trying to keep the state from getting away from him.
