Those that wee already closer than expected - Virginia, for one. There are also a couple of the 'battleground' states where Edwards could make a difference; WV, MO, OH, PA, WI.

I consider TN, VA and NC more in play now, states where Bush's lead has narrowed, where they can try and hammer home the job situation and hide the recovery. I didn't say Edwards gives the Dems any of these, I just feel it might help to narrow the gap even further.
