The metro area has grown to the point that Obama actually won here by a plurality, but it so far hasn't impacted Statewide results. We are nearing the tipping point, however....

Georgia and the rest of the south Atlantic states are trending Democrat: If Obama had bothered campaigning seriously there in 2008, he would have picked up the state. He almost won NC this time around despite giving up on the state 2 months before the election, and Romney's second-worst performance in any state he won was in Georgia (won it by only 8 points).
