Poll question: what red Deep South state is the most ripe for Obama's picking?
Leaving out Virginia and West Virginia since they're more mid-atlantic.

2. I suspect GA and SC both have potential.
Hard to say, though.

4. All depends on Bob Barr for those two
If Barr gains more support and Obama uses his money wisely there, he can certianly be competitive. Hell, even if he loses both, if he can get McCain to spend his limited cash there, he's golden. That'll be less money McCain can use in Colorado, NM, Ohio, and Penn.

5. Barf definitely helps here.

3. A VP nominee can help

Richardson can tilt Texas to Obama. Believe it or not Hillary can tilt Arkansas to Obama and help with some Southern states, and Tennesse is in play if Governor Bredesen or Al Gore get the nod. But North Carolina and Louisiana are definitely in play this year and may turn Blue.

8. Virginia already belongs to Obama. He'll ride in . . .
on Mark Warner's coat tails even if he doesn't outright pull the state.

11. North Carolina.
Although I wouldn't really classify it as "deep South".
