I mean every commercial break? Something tells me internals aren't looking good.

2. They're obviously not convinced...
by their own +20 poll. That's pretty revealing, isn't it?

3. They want desperately to close out NC so they can devote those resources elsewhere
Keep out on the street. Make them spend every red cent they have to for NC.

11. Most certainly is
I don't have the internals of the latest NC polls at hand but it if the Obama campaign has turn out like they did for the primary then NC is going blue. Dole being sent back to Kansas or her Washington condo or wherever the hell she's from is icing on the cake.

13. They are so concerned, they are spending loads in Tennessee hoping theres NC overlap
We aren't too far from the border - about an hour, hour and a half tops, but we are getting McCain ads left and right - even when TN seems to be a solid win for McCain (unfortunately - even though theres a ton of Obama support here so maybe the polls are wrong?). Our media penetration into NC (and VA) is minimal - one station broadcasts over the VA border for a small amount, but this is all across the board.

Makes me wonder on how accurate these polls really are if they are spending money here in the blind hope that someone from NC or VA sees it.

14. McCain saw polls with him up 20 in NC.
As much as I wish this was because he was scared, I think it's that he sees an opportunity.
Which ads are showing there?
