Dole’s failure in the Tarheel State doesn’t bode well for the McCain campaign in that state, showing that the anti-Republican tide is strong enough to knock over even a very famous incumbent. Things are looking bad for McCain in bellwether counties in North Carolina, but Virginia which had polled better for Obama than N.C., is looking decent for McCain. Is it possible that N.C. could go blue and Virginia could stay red? Of course, with Pennsylvania called for Obama, it might not matter at all.
