I pointed out Charlotte because Mecklenburg county is the largest county in the state. So the significance of having an Obama supporter running the city can't be understated. It's not about electoral votes, per se, but keeping a solid infrastructure and ground game in place come 2012. It's a pretty big deal.
On the flip side, it will be more of an uphill battle in VA and NJ now that Republicans run the state, not to mention that we lost some electoral votes in both places.
