Adding the state's senior senator, John Edwards (news - web sites), to the ticket put North Carolina in play for November, but there was no ad budget. Kerry re-routed $1.4 million to North Carolina for pre-convention ads, according to several officials familiar with his ad purchasing.

"The groundwork has been laid in Louisiana," Wooley assured Lee on the convention floor. "He wanted to spend more money in places that needed to know more about Edwards."

So were the funds taken away to sell Edwards to North Carolinians or am I missing something here? North Carolinians already know John Edwards and the poll results were that Edwards was not only "known" but "hell, known".

This is great news that they are wasting their time with Virginia and North Carolina. Both will be going for Bush. I'm far more worried about Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana.

Don't be. Bush will take all three. And, he'll take Colorado and Ohio, too.

Follow the money, ignore the bullshit from the campaign.

Agree about north carolina. They should spend all the money they can there.

People there know john edwards, and that's why he wasn't going to run for re-election, and also why the two johns are trailing in the polls.

Arkansas scares me the most.
