A campaign sign for US presidential candidate Barack Obama greets residents of Henderson County, North Carolina, drive past on a country road near Hendersonville, NC, USA, Oct. 29, 2008. The state looks to be a "battleground" state this time round, and for the first time in many many years, a Democratic presidential candidate actually has a shot at the states 15 electoral college votes. Because the race in other states is virtually decided, North Carolina might actually be the state that decides this election.(Australfoto/Douglas Engle)
