Kerry pulled some staff out of VA and sent them to Ohio. He still has as many staff in Virginia as Bush does; on top of that, he has Mark Warner, the Gov., doing a full court press. That's the big reason why Virginia is so surprisingly strong.
If Kerry wins with Virginia in the D column, Mark Warner will be Edwards principal competition for the face of the Dems in the South, and almost certainly a future Presidential candidate.
Edwards is the obvious reason North Carolina is in play; he probably has enough strength to make it close, but a win would be surprising. Tennesse and W.Va., of course, are traditional swing states, but states Bush thought he'd already put away.
