The early voting numbers alone should clobber the rethugs.

NC is a 50-50 state-- 1% is nuthin.

Stop buying into that red state / blue state garbage.

The fact that Obama has come so close bodes well for the future, and the Dems and progressives from North Carolina should be awfully proud that they are paving the way for a bright tomorrow. NC for the last couple of weeks is the state that provided pessimists like me with hope for keeping the race so close.

Almost all of Mr. Romney’s advantage can be explained by one county, Wake County, in North Carolina’s Research Triangle. President Obama won it by 64,000 votes in 2008. This year, Mr. Romney leads by 2,000 votes so far.

Sorry guys, it's over. The polling was accurate and NC is still somewhat red..

The rest showing 5-9% Romney win was not accurate.

Silver's 80% lock of NC still cannot be justified even if Romney eekes out a win,
