Well, as I remember from Cliff's book, there are alot of people in Arizona who really, really don't like McCain, so this isn't surprising.
Sen. Barack Obama "quietly raised more money in Arizona last month for his presidential campaign than" Sen. John McCain did, according to analysis by the Arizona Republic.
Obama reported $432,000 in donations from Arizonans in June, compared with McCain's $313,000... Since last year, McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, has raised at least $4.7 million from his fellow Arizonans, double what Obama reports from the state. But donations this year are nearly even: McCain's Arizona donors have given him $2 million. Obama's Arizona donors have given him just $66,000 less."
Meanwhile, the New York Times notes that "a variety of factors have made Mr. McCain's chances in Arizona less assured than they ordinarily would seem."
