No way in hell that South Carolina would be.  North Carolina would be a longshot but there is a Mason Dixon poll that makes it plausible.

Every polling firm can be a victim of margin of error though.

North Carolina definatley becomes battleground.  South Carolina could becoe battleground their is lots of fighting going on between the Republican Govenor and Republican dominated legislature which could damage the party in South Carolina

No, South Carolina could not become a battleground unless Kerry is up 15%.

Edwards or no Edwards, NC and SC are solid Bush in a 50/50 election.

Not battlegrounds.  But, with Edwards as VP and Kerry winning the PV by 5-6%, Kerry could have a shot in NC.

But in a 49-49-2 election, Bush wins NC, and definitely SC.

I cannot remember which poll it was, but when questioning if a Kerry-Edwards ticket would do well against Bush, Bush still lead the state by 1% (I'll have to find that poll).  Without Edwards, Bush won by a larger margin.

Going on a side-track here, I still think Edwards should have been the Democratic candidate, not Kerry.  Between Edwards and Kerry, I think Edwards would had a better chance of winning the election due to the charismatic similarities between him and Bush (one thing Kerry and Gore lack).

If he picks Edwards he'll certainly win North Carolina.

The way things are going, he might come close to winning it anyway.

I don't think so at all! Bush is still up by 7-10%. But I see it getting higher.

Latest poll he is up by 7%, but with Kerry on the ticket he is only up 1%

If it's that close in North Carolina, without Edwards even being mentioned, then Bush might as well just start packing his bags and start heading back to Texas.

Rasmussen hasn't  been doing very well lately.  They seem to  get results everywhere, and on top of that there is margin of error.  The poll only had a sample size of 400 on top of that.

The top pollsters all have the race close in Ohio and Pennsylvania.  As long as the swing states are close, I doubt the safe states are in dagner.

The recent polls have shown the gaps closing in North Carolina, and West Virginia isn't exactly a safe state
