Yeah, but it also depends on where the candidates spend their resources. Obama is making a major push in NC. Right now, the electoral map does not look good for McCain. He's going to have to push hard in Ohio, Colorado, and Virginia and may not have the luxury of defending North Carolina as vigorously as he wants. I could see a scenario where McCain fights so hard in Virginia that he takes it, but ends up losing NC at the same time.
