Barack Obama moved some of his Georgia staff to North Carolina.
According to an article in Politico today, this state still remains among the second tier where the Democratic presidential candidate hopes to remain competitive, although he has given up on Georgia.
Earlier in the summer, the Obama campaign named 18 battleground states as prime advertising targets.
Obama recently stopped running ads in Georgia, a state the campaign originally identified as a potential battleground. Some Georgia field staff was moved into North Carolina, said Plouffe.
The campaign is still more focused on nearby Virginia than North Carolina.

Re: Obama's Georgia staff moves to N.C.
Both campaigns got what they wanted out of their conventions...people forget that before the Republican convention, Obama had a huge national lead, and before the Democratic convention it was just as tight as it is now. So, basically, both didn't mess up in their conventions.
Frankly, I wonder how accurate polling is these days more and more...seriously, how many people answer these random phone calls by pollsters? How many people have unlisted numbers or use their cell phone as their primary phone, which people can't reach?
These polls also don't take into account younger voters (which it is documented they are coming out stronger than in any prior election)...still, you can't blame Obama for not concentrating as hard in NC when no poll comes out with him ahead...and McCain hasn't bothered to campaign in the state yet.
