Even South Carolina may be in play for Obama. Couple high minority turnout, GOP apathy over McCain, a little traction by Barr, and Obama can win the state’s EVs.
Local conservative talk radio hosts such as Russ Cassell are promoting vote third party, unemployment in the state is rising, and an influx of liberals into Charleston and the Upstate may give Obama a surprise victory.
Taking the South for granted as being in the GOP column may be a mistake.
Free Republic is now in its every four year panic. Similar to the silly stuff we saw in 2004. McCain will win Georgia by double digits.
This is one of those Matt Towery polls, perhaps the worst poll you will ever find. It is designed to get a specific result and that is to drive conservative turnout.
Given the South’s generally disastrous voting in these past Republican primaries, I don’t think you can take anything for granted there.
I heard a lot of people complaining about the vote in New Hampshire (and I was...), but the vote in the Southland wasn’t any better. Really, I thought it was worse.
We shall see...
