The "big map" strikes again in North Carolina

(Politico) McCain forced to defend North Carolina

Another state party complaining that the McCain campaign isn't doing enough.

This is not a good "fundamentals" sign for the McCain campaign. Stretched on money, stretched on the map, and hearing local worries from all over the country. (See also: Virginia and Florida.)

(I have a hunch that they leave North Carolina alone because it's not worth the attention. If they lose North Carolina, they've already lost the overall race.)

Later: (Politico) McCain/Palin both head to Virginia.
