There are still undecideds. IMHO Bush's popularity is basically static, he hasn't got a lot of room to grow because so many issues look bad for him, so all he has left to do is hammer on Kerry and Edwards. If Kerry and Edwards do make at least some effort here, if they reach out to the African American community, and the manufacturing communities here in NC and if they don't do anything stupid, they have a chance. This early in the game, there is enough time to make a difference.

Stranger things have happened. Who would have expected Kerry's big win in Iowa? Things looked bad for him in the fall. And yet... here we are.
