Rasmussen: Obama +2 in North Carolina

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

With these results, McCain might as well skip all the debates:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Tar Heel State shows Obama attracting 49% of the vote while McCain earns 47%. A week ago, McCain held a three-point edge. This is the first time in eight Rasmussen Reports polls that Obama has held any kind of a lead in North Carolina, though the candidates were tied once as well.
It's the first (not counting Zogby-Internet) result from any poll that gives Obama the lead.

I dunno - I don't think it's attacking, to say that his behavior gets more erratic as the polls go up for Obama. At this rate, he'll charge Washington on horseback with a saber drawn on high.

The other development I find interesting is that West Virginia is on the verge of becoming competive (RCP = McCain by 4.5). I wonder if Hillary followers, particularly those worried about the economy, are coming back into the fold there. Things are looking up again.

Peggy Noonan was on MSNBC this morning, and said something to the effect that McCain's response to any crisis is to get on the balls of his feet, lean forward, and use a pirate voice. She's hilarious.

NC is starting to turn blue, but it might take another few years before it's a true swing state. Yes, this poll is very nice, but Obama was down 20 there not too long ago in another poll. I think McCain has to be considered the favorite in North Carolina this year, but it could very well go for Obama.
