McCain keeps quiet in Arizona

McCain has been relatively quiet with the media in Arizona, his home state. Press have found it nearly impossible to get interviews with one of their long-standing politicians, Cindy McCain or Sarah Palin.
This relationship, or lack thereof, could be for several reasons: Arizona is his home state and an assumed red state and the campaign is focusing on the swing states, it could be a part of the campaign's national trend to deny access to national media outlets, it could be just part of the campaign's grudge against "liberal" media or it could stem from McCain's tense history with the press in his home state.
All are equally plausible, but it has left readers in Arizona and across the country wanting more from the state's press.
