John McCain paid a visit to Chick-fil-a today:

Making a swing through Georgia just days after locking up the GOP nomination, the Arizona senator warned that the state's rapid growth and shifting demographics - drawing new residents from all over the country - place the state in play come November.

"I will be coming back to this great state. It's going to be competitive in the general election," McCain said at the sprawling suburban Atlanta headquarters of the Georgia-based restaurant chain Chick-fil-A.

Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, who only endorsed McCain on Monday, introduced him to an audience of Chick-Fil-A employees, saying that McCain's straight talk and conviction are appealing in the state. The appearance with Dan Cathy, son of Chick-Fil-A founder Truett Cathy, could also help. The Cathys have been outspoken in their support of Republican social conservatives. Chick-fil-A has won praise from religious conservative for keeping its doors shut on Sundays.
