As the motor of the big white charter bus idled in anticipation of its nine-hour haul to Sedona, Ariz., Daniel Tamm rose to rev the spirits of the Southern Californians aboard.

"People ask, 'Why Arizona? It's a red state,' " he said. "But some of the latest polls show we're only a percentage point behind."
