Georgia is about to overtake Michigan as the No. 8 most-populous state in the Union. I think North Carolina will, by the end of the decade, knock out Mich. at the No. 9 spot and send the Wolverine State down to No. 10.
We have elections where shifts happen every time, and for anyone to think Ga. doesn't reflect swings would be dead wrong. Too bad the Obama camp wasn't more aggressive going after the Peach Tree State, given McCain held it by 5.20% after 2004 Bush won it by 16.60%. It's Republican Tilt not in doubt, it's plenty movable and flippable: Obama won the female vote in Ga. at 54%, better than his performance with bellwethers Ohio and Florida.
If 2012 results in a Republican pickup of the White House, this is a waste. If it results in Obama winning re-election, additional support from that 40% males will go up. And the females' number will also go north. (In other words, a pickup.)
