Markos Moulitsas Zúniga also chimed in on North Carolina.

After a staffer for Hillary Clinton was quoted saying that Tar Heels would not be in play in the November election, the liberal blogger added his two cents Wednesday:

Should we write off all those states? North Carolina and Nebraska can absolutely be competitive. According to SurveyUSA, North Carolina is currently only a 47-45 McCain state against Obama. And given the torrid growth of the state's Research Triangle, the Democratic gains in the state's 2006 mid-term elections at both the state and federal levels, and the overall negative climate for Republicans, NC is _absolutely_ in play. Even Clinton's 8-point deficit in the state in that SUSA poll suggests that it is the case.

It's about time someone else has come out and said this; it has seemed that I am the only one who believed it, even after poll numbers have said as much.
