If Barack Obama's making a feint, it's not working.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has devoted substantial resources to North Carolina, while Republican John McCain has pretty much sat the state out.

Obama has already opened 12 state offices so far and is adding Cary and Chapel Hill tomorrow.

According to the New York Times, Obama spent almost $2 million on ads in North Carolina between June 3 and July 26, while McCain has not spent any money.

Obama spokesman Paul Cox said that the campaign has had 93 organizational meetings that recruited over 3,000 volunteers here, with many concentrating on registering voters.

The one area where Obama has not put as much effort is personal visits. He came for a rally on June 9 after winning the nomination and had to postpone a visit to Charlotte after plane trouble.

McCain, meantime, came for a speech at Wake Forest University and several fundraisers in Charlotte in early May.

Still, Obama's starting to ramp up the visits by surrogates, bringing retired Army Major Gen. Geoffrey Lambert to Fayetteville tomorrow.

Some political observers — Dome included — had argued that Obama was making a play for North Carolina to draw out McCain's resources.
