Poll: Obama Might Have Shot At Flipping North Carolina

John McCain might end up having to work really hard to hold on to North Carolina, a new poll suggests, even though this Southern state hasn't voted Dem since Jimmy Carter's win in 1976.

The new numbers from Rasmussen: McCain 48%, Obama 45%, with a ±4.5% margin of error. Other polls http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/polltracker/ncpres/">have shown a similarly-close race, a surprising development considering that George W. Bush beat John Kerry here by a 56%-44% margin.

One thing that should be noted: North Carolina is on the list of 18 states that the Obama campaign has targeted with their ads so far, and the ads could be making an impact.

1. If he does, they'll just call him a Flip-Flopper some more.... I can hear it now...

"In 2004, Obama acknowledged that there are red states and there are blue states. Now... he's trying to turn red states blue! Is there ANY past statement of his that he'll stand by?"

Damnit, you're Tucker Bounds aren't you? ;-)
