Regardless of the quality of this poll, its results are reasonable - there is little doubt that South Carolina is solid McCain, North Carolina likely McCain, and Virginia a complete tossup.

Opebo, I'm surprised by you.  I clicked on this post expecting a mini-mini-racism lecture and I got a reasonable post Wink 


Too much opium from the northern hill tribes?



I'm still working on figure out VA.  McCain's got a half-decent operation there (relative to his other organizations), probably his third best among states >4 EV's, as far as I can tell (after OH, PA).  But simultaneously, he is still dwarfed by Obama's campaign. 

But still, the difference that a good organization makes (a better organization on the X axis measured against increased votes on the Y axis) is probably going to yield significant diminishing returns, so a solid organization that can pack a stuffed office here and there is probably enough to make him competitive.  It's not as ideal as an overflowing, kids-on-the-street-because-there's-not-enough-room-to-make-calls situation that Obama has (I just biked by a local office of some kind at 9 pm on my way to food and callers were on their cell phones with a script in front of them on the sidewalk), but it's not as bad as McCain's operations in Colorado, which I view as a complete failure.
