One of the most interesting stories in the Los Angeles Times this morning one day prior to Election Day is the interesting pattern of activity emerging in John McCain's home state.

With a hoarse, tired looking McCain striving to defeat the seemingly inevitable force of American political history to achieve one more victory for the Bush-Cheney corporate Republican right in the face of a voter transformation, right in his own backyard of Arizona Democrats are hard at work to win a state that had been earlier ceded to the Arizonan.

The Times story reveals that the Democratic state chairman has developed an imaginative eleventh hour fundraising method to secure contributions for specific purposes related to the amount of the donation.  

One contribution involves ability to deploy individuals to make a specified number of calls; another involves feeding a team of workers tapped in for eight hour shifts; yet another involves purchase of gas to drive voters to the polls.
