Here in NC Obama is running about 52 to 48 percent, within the margin of error. I wonder if Barr is in the polling in West Virginia? He's not in the polls here although he is on the ballot.

But I'm guessing that this means that McCain certainly isn't running away with the state now. Yeah I doubt that Obama is really so far ahead in West Virginia.
