SC was the only Atlantic Coast state not to support Obama. I would imagine that the people there, alas, want to pay penance and vote Democrat for governor in 2010. NC has not had a Republican governor since 1988.
Georgia didn’t vote for the False Messiah. SC won’t elect a rodent Governor unless under extremely bizarre circumstances, namely a damaged incumbent. Unless Bauer is sitting in the office next year, there won’t be an incumbent, and the national mood against the False Messiah as unemployment continues to grow well into the double digits will likely make it even harder for the Dems (that, and the fact they have no substantial first-tier candidates).
