SC was closer than all McCain states but MO, MT, GA and AZ.

Nailed it. That sums up most of the Southern states, like SC, and Alabama, and Mississippi. far too polarized of an electorate to experience a large swing.

SC has a much more dynamic economy than Alabama or Mississippi, and is therefore attracting many more transplants from the North-east than the two other states are. Also, given 4 more years, with some older voters dying off, and more liberal transplants moving in, you could see a shift of a couple of points.

Probably not enough to give Obama a win in '12, but you never know with the state of the Republican party.
