After helping U.S. Sen. John McCain win the S.C. primary and the GOP nomination, Trey Walker now is heading the Republican’s fall operations in a must-win swing state.Walker, a 41-year-old Irmo native, is one of a handful of South Carolinians heavily involved in McCain’s campaign.In May, McCain tapped Walker to head his Mid-Atlantic campaign — Delaware, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia and, possibly most important, Virginia.Virginia is critical to McCain’s presidential hopes. The Republican presidential candidate has not lost the state since 1964. And if McCain loses it in November, it could doom his chances of becoming president.That is why Walker and the rest of McCain’s Mid-Atlantic staff are leaving as little to chance as possible.
